“Proserpina”
by Sophia Leintz
Blushing rain
Descends from the cherry blossom’s
Weeping branches,
Under the veils of glistening spotlight
Passionate blossom birthed,
Delicate Venus of the Earth.
Gentle petal on her toes,
Waltzing through the shadows.
Swallowed by the breeze
Forced to descend,
Peaceful blossom reached her end.
