DO NOT LET, by Walt Whitman

Do not let the day end without having grown a bit, without being happy, 
without having risen your dreams.
Do not let overcome by disappointment.
Do not let anyone you remove the right to express yourself,
which is almost a duty.
Do not forsake the yearning to make your life something special.
Be sure to believe that words and poetry it can change the world.
Whatever happens, our essence is intact.
We are beings full of passion. Life is desert and oasis.
We breakdowns, hurts us, teaches us, makes us protagonists of our own history.

Although the wind blow against the powerful work continues:
You can make a stanza. Never stop dreaming, because in a dream, man is free. 

Do not fall into the worst mistakes: the silence.

Most live in a dreadful silence. Do not resign escape.
"Issued by my screams roofs of this world," says the poet.

Rate the beauty of the simple things.
You can make beautiful poetry on little things, but we can not row against ourselves. That transforms life into hell.

Enjoy the panic that leads you have life ahead. Live intensely, without mediocrity.
Think that you are the future and facing the task with pride and without fear.

Learn from those who can teach you. The experiences of those who preceded us in our "dead poets", help you walk through life.

Today's society is us "poets alive." Do not let life pass you live without that.

A SUPERNATURAL LOVE STORY

For this Quirky Crafts Challenge inspires me a legend of Greek Mythology: The  love of Hades by Persephone.

Hades, God of the Underworld, fell in love with Persephone and decided to kidnap her. The myth says that in one of the rare times he left the Underworld, he traveled above ground to pursue her, while she was gathering flowers in a field.

Persephone’s mother, Demeter, begged her brother Hades to allow Persephone to come back to the livings, denoting that the young Persephone was not supposed to live in the underworld. Hades consulted with Zeus and they both decided to allow Persephone to live on earth for six months each year, while the rest of the time she would be on his side in the Underworld.

Before leaving the underworld, Persephone had been persuaded to eat four seeds of a pomegranate. In ancient mythology, to eat the fruit of one’s captor meant that one would have to return to that captor or country, so Persephone was doomed to return to the underworld for four months of the year. But she was allowed to spend the remaining two-thirds of the year with her Earth Mother, Demeter.

The myth of Hades and Persephone is associated with the coming of Spring and Winter:

When Persephone comes to the Earth, it's springtime. When she descends to Hades, it is winter.

THIS IS A SUPERNATURAL LOVE STORY.
