The Goddess

Her hair is long and lingering 
Moves like waves over the sea 

Her eyes are deep and dreaming 
Seeing the ways of change and meaning 

Her face is a mystery to the many
Beholding the ancient, within the new, within the now 

Her smell is of enchanting earths 
Lush and alive with divinity 

Her voice speaks a thousand ways 
Sometimes with nothing to say 

She kills what needs to be 
So that what can be shall be free

Sounds like an amazon goddess with the essential internal fortitude and intelligence to eradicate what isn't needed to survive and live freely in peace. Last two lines perfection. Beautiful poem. x
