Today's MOZEN: Persephone's Promise.

Words and photo by F LoBuono

She is close. Very close.

I can smell her in the morning air. I can hear her in the cacophony of the song birds. I can feel her in the sun's warm embrace.

Persephone will soon be here.

Returning from her long stay in the underworld, she will delight us with her warm breath. She will extend her loving embrace to bring us longer days and softer nights. Her smile will reflect the warming rays of the sun. She will kiss us with her Spring rains, fresh and clean, to impregnate mother earth with new life.

Persephone has kept her promise.

Spring returns.
