Persephone Sings: Growing Moon 2                                                           

I hear my mother’s voice calling. 

I think she is crying! 

She sounds so far away. 

I feel I have been awakened with a start from a deep sleep

by the sound of my mother’s tears. 

I have lost a dream so powerful and strange...

But it is late, the sun is rising, and my mother is calling. 

I have no time to try to remember.  

I am coming mother! 

I feel a quickening within me; 

I know I am carrying new life! 

I feel all life calling out to me

to hurry, hurry back. 

I know I bring hope! 

The call is so strong, I can’t resist. 

I am coming!  I am springtime! 

I am bursting with life and energy and light! 

There is so much to do, and so little time: 

so much beauty to renew,

and so much beauty in the renewing!
