Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Demeter mourns the loss of her daughter, Persephone.

Persephone

by Peitho


Provocative declaration of love
Entrapped a sacred soul
Realm of the living suffers a great loss
She recruits the heavens in her desperate search
Earth now reflects a saturnine mother with a missing heart
Petals that once bloomed fall to her feet
Here she discovers a seed of truth
Outlandish reports of a mutual accord
Now she can only wait for her heart to return
Earth will then be reborn
