“Mother and Daughter”
by Toni Truesdale
In Ancient times the matriarch
passed sacred knowledge
to the divine daughter;
Daughters reciprocated with
offerings to their mother.
The legend of Demeter and Kore is
One of western cultures oldest
myths.
When the daughter Kore was abducted,
Demeter searched for her daughter as
all life on earth wilted.
The formation of the seasons was the
resolution.
The daughter becomes
Persephone;
Returning to the mother during
spring and summer;
Descending to her husband, Hades,
for fall and winter.
For Demeter is Mother Earth.
