I, Persephone, refuse to accept

     The cycle of birth and death;

The endless progression of aging

     That has been recognized for Ages...

     Not I, who descended into the

Cold, dark caverns of the earth.

 

Perhaps, Nature is listening to me --

   Spring  and Winter weather reverse daily;

This morning, there was snow clumped

     On tender, green Daffodil leaves...

                                        She lives in my memories, letters, photos,

                                    And in unsuspecting, sad reminders.....
