I Have Met A Goddess

I have met a goddess.

Can you claim the same?

She danced, once, in rivers and swayed to a rhythm that

Only she could name.

I have met a goddess

Who, with her heav’nly sight,

Could beckon the raging of stormfronts to cease, that the

Sun might share its light.

I have met a goddess.

Distant was her gaze,

And so far removed from the vices of man that she

Could not run away.

I have met a goddess

Once only, long ago;

Then deities learned not to venture so near, and she…

Well.

She was the last to know.
