restless

Last week I was smitten with the delicious thought that spring was definitely just a moment or two away. Temperatures were in the 50's and 60's! Grass was greening up all the patches where the snow was retreating.  Fuzzy little buds cover the branches of the shrubs.
Last night all of that changed and we woke to about 4 inches of heavy, wet snow on the lawn furniture, the sidewalks and roads.  Spring in the Black Hills is elusive in early February.  It teases us regularly.
​So today, I join Demeter in her restlessness. 
Picture

labyrinth under a full moon
spirit of Demeter haunts the path,
in to center
and back out
again and again,
above and below,
pacing,
keening for her daughter
 
Persephone slowly arises
adorned with pasque flowers
and snow
