Persephone and Hades \u2013 A Dialogue<\/p>\n

<\/a>Persephone:<\/p>\n

\u201cOh no!\u00a0 What is happening to me?
\nNot of my own free will
\nHave I done this!<\/p>\n

Down going deeper
\nAgainst my will.
\nNo one enters these shadows willingly.<\/p>\n

Here I will be forced to see
\nWhat I think is bad.
\nAnger, desire, greed, hate, fear
\nGuilt, despair!<\/p>\n

Why would I ever
\nChoose to do this?
\nI am afraid.
\nIt is dark and oh, so cold here.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Hades:<\/p>\n

\u201cHere,\u201d a voice said.
\n\u201cLet me give you a torch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Persephone:<\/p>\n

“Oh \u2013 He is beautiful.
\nHis eyes dark and warm
\nAs He smiles at me.”<\/p>\n

Hades:<\/p>\n

\u201cI will help you in these shadows.
\nNever fear.
\nYou are to be my Queen, my dear.<\/p>\n

Once you realize that those aspects
\nof yourself are all part of you
\nto be used for good,
\nyou will become whole in yourself.
\nTo rule in this world
\nyou must be strong and sure.
\nFearless.<\/p>\n

Anger is what can right all wrongs,
\nIf used well.<\/p>\n

Desire, brings all things good to you.
\nFear, alerts you to danger,
\nso that precautions can be made.<\/p>\n

Greed and envy
\nMerely serve to help us see
\nwhat is really good for us, or not.<\/p>\n

Hate, a response to fear
\nWith a lesson to be learned.
\nSo that we can learn to love.<\/p>\n

Despair, a sadness that we can finally rise above
\nand seek out the good in the world.<\/p>\n

Come, my dear, take my hand.
\nBe my bride.
\nBe the queen you were born to be.<\/p>\n

Through my love for you,
\nYou will love yourself,
\nAnd all others.<\/p>\n

You will see the sadness
\nIn the world,
\nBut give hope to the hopeless,
\nLove to the unloved
\nJoy to those who despair.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Come my love, Be my Queen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Persephone:<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, yes, my beautiful King.
\nI am yours.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
