A Goddess

through the ether she appeared A Goddess attended by herons the softest light pours from her eyes flamed by the embers of her heart loving without knowing caring without seeing a voice for those without freedom, the answering cry from the dark, nobody else hears cresting Great Rivers, Buck-eyed Demigods genuflect at her feet she is worshiped this Brilliant Goddess and today is her Birthday For ~A

Another alter ego for the legendary Leda? May she read this poem and enjoy her birthday, it is a tribute that makes us feel the heart from which it came. One love

this is wonderful, I see this Goddess vividly through your imagery. Chose this poem randomly from all those you wrote, and am glad I did! Thank you Jayne for your lovely comment on "Coaxing a write", much appreciated. Coaxing a write is what I was attempting to do with that etheree...anything to get jumpstarted again:)
