Not intended as an in-depth exploration of mythology - but perhaps a starting point for thought.
Persephone is freed. Attis has bled,
yet lives. Osiris is remade, his son
carries the ankh-cross of eternal life.
The young men, Mithras, Baldur, resurrect;
Krishna and Jesus join hands in the sun.
Snow melts, earth warms, the tree of death grows leaves.
