Persephone's Dance

Crossing the deep night
Which cradles visions I walk
Along the dark shores
Only shadows listen to my steps
The sun has fallen and hope
Has fled far away

Here fortune’s wheel does not turn
All doors are closed
But, when owls begin to call
I raise the torch to the sky
So, the moon and stars
Will shine again
I will call the breeze

To scatter on the fields
The gold of daffodils
Roses on hedges vibrant
Like flaming stones
Ejected by craters
I will call the breeze

To scatter on the fields
The gold of daffodils
Roses on hedges vibrant
Like flaming stones
Ejected by craters

Life runs fast to embrace death
Like the words of poets when
Seeking refuge in the silence
Refuge in the silence

I draw a line between the blooming
And the fading of things
I draw a line through time with colours
Of what is lost and found again
A trail of the eternal running

Into nothing
Along the dark shores
Only shadows listen to my steps
The sun has fallen and hope
Has fled far away

Here fortune’s wheel does not turn
All doors are closed
But, when owls begin to call
I raise the torch to the sky
So, the moon and stars
Will shine again
I will call the breeze

To scatter on the fields
The gold of daffodils
Roses on hedges vibrant
Like flaming stones
Ejected by craters
I will call the breeze

To scatter on the fields
The gold of daffodils
Roses on hedges vibrant
Like flaming stones
Ejected by craters
