Persephone's Eternal Rest
The soul rises like a speck of dust
in a sunbeam
It moves through an invisible cloth
separating space and time
Where other dimensions coexist between
Then others beyond
In life there is
A rock-heavy flower bouquet
to cling to,
Till the strong grasp agonizes,
Her palms bleed
Pleading for an end
But pain has no memory
It can’t recollect when it was not
It is opened to receive new waves of pain
Becoming the norm
In death
time doesn't-pass
It decays,
It destroys
But she knew her legacy
would remain intact
In life, she let go of the flowers
And held the machine of all knowledge
so the grave had to hinder her
In death, from above she is forced
to watch a corpse
That wasted the potential of the flesh
Its God-given purpose left unfulfilled
But the soul rises pleased
Emitting a light
that fogs everything the naked eye once saw
The pupils allow only
Fragments of our world capable of overshining
The soul
To pass through them
The grave fades
She finally sees
Most purely,
Entirely,
For all Eternity
