Not aloof in the sky
Nor deep in the ocean
Not an unseen possibility
Nor a figment of the fog
You are the gods, ever present, ever living
Your presence is with us
In the air we breathe
In the water that cleanses us
In the fire that warms us
You are the gods, a force of life, a force of growth
Not somewhere above
Nor somewhere below
Not to the left
Nor to the right
You are the gods, everywhere, everything
Our lives and yours entwined
Like one mortal to another
Like the flower and the rain
Like the child and her mother
You are the gods, loving, beloved
Not aloof in the stars
Nor roaming in space
Not lost to history
Nor characters in a show
You are the gods, a living presence, a living power

To Persephone
Give me your breath
That I may breathe
The cool Spring air
That I may smell the rich earth
And the scent of the greening grass
Come forth dread lady
Come into the light
Hear our song and follow it forth
Into the warming sun
That brings you to life
Give us your power
That we may feel energized
As your journey comes to en end
From the nebulous depths
To the clear blue dome of heaven
Come forth dread lady
Come into the light
Hear our song and follow it forth
Into the warming sun
That brings you to life
Give us your laughter
That we too may laugh
In the blooming of the earth
And the returning song of birds
Calling into the skies
Come forth dread lady
Come into the light
Hear our song and follow it forth
Into the warming sun
That brings you to life
Statue: Marble 5th century BC statuette of Persephone found in Piraeus, now in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens Greece.

Brightly shining Zeus
For a moment brighter than the sun
Roaring forth like a summer storm
Shaking the walls of the city
Your power immense
Your gifts many
Raining down upon us all
Hail to the Khronides!
Deeply flowing Poseidon
Crashing upon the shores of the earth
A roar like a song to those who listen
Shaking the foundations of the earth
Your power immense
Your blessings many
Flowing back and forth in our world
Hail to the Khronides!
Dark and steady Hades
Invisible to the eyes of mankind
Not a roar but the silence of the tomb
Welcoming all who once lived
Your power immense
Your blessings many
Bringing an end to all things
Hail to the Khronides!
