Goddess of Many Names
Ancient Goddess
humans have worshiped you
for love, fertility, night, mist
and ocean's blue-
Huntress, protector
Creator of the sweetest nectar.
Many civilizations
for thousands of years,
under many names-
You have been the benevolent
defender of mortal fears
Moon haze she sweats-
worshippers on knees bow
when her silver hue and human eyes are met.
