Demeter & Persephone

All in the golden sunlight I spent my carefree youth.
Now I have grown older and learned a deeper truth.
When I descend in darkness, I take with me the light,
For I am both, they live in me, in me the two unite.
I weave in light and darkness; The shuttle is my soul.
I rise, I fall, I rise again; The world is woven whole.


William Ward
From a play for 5th Grade
