Harvest Season

Harvest Season

I enter my harvest season,
Sown in an adult youth of exploration.
The ripening grain has begun to glow
And, my many nightshades abloom in gold.

My horn of plenty awaits me,
After weathering numerous passing
Deluges, droughts, and common disasters.
I see the beauty of the leaves
As they begin to change in the
Multicolor of my new reflection.

The October flowers are fading
On the hard hewn harvest floor.
The dry cracks in the tracked soil
Serve to remind me of memories trapped
In this land of long lingering shadows.

When Hades abducted Persephone, it set in motion a chain of events that eventually led to the earth falling into darkness each winter. This is the time of the Dark Mother, the Crome aspect of the triple goddess. The goddess os bearomg tjos to,e mpt a basket of flowers, but a sickle and scythe. She is prepared to reap what has been sown. The earth dies a little each day, and we must embrace this slow descent into dark before we can truly appreciate the light that will return in a few months. Your poem tells me you are in balance and are embracing this time in your life. Blessed be and I love your poetry so far. Wonderful read and a ten from me. Great write thank you for sharing this with me.
