An ending to legion's poem: Deep Goddess.

 

She turned slowly, fearfully

And I held my breath.

How would she react to this interloper,

This witness to her pain.

I stood still

Allowing her energy to wash over me,

inspecting me.

I dared not breathe.

Could she feel my fear?

Would she recognise my pain?

The pain I hide?

Her tears flowed stronger still,

The light from the moon illuminating them

as they coursed down her face.

What can I do? I silently asked,

To help you?

I held out my hands in surrender.

She smiled then.

Her eyes glistening.

Her lips pale.

Slowly she turned back and

Hands held high

Released the moon back to its sky

Released the pain she held,

The guilt.

I could feel her release

And my heart felt full,

Of gratitude and love.

She turned and walked towards me,

And then right through me.

I shivered.

And she was gone.

But the moon was back in its place.

Its light lit up the earth once more.

My Goddess was gone,

But I still held part of her

………….In my soul.

All I can say is I have speechless wonder and recognition of the energy and power in your words. Dear Sister, we share all that is Her.

I like this piece
You can really feel the moment
Being in the presence of something otherworldly can be frightening
Even if the entity is good

Hello,

You were so very kind to come an visit a new poet rescently and leave such a kind reviews that I wanted to repay the favor, visit you, and learn a little more about you. I so enjoyed reading your Bio (As much as I could see and I have invited you as friend) This write itself is wonderful! I liked it very much and if I was reading correctly you were honoring another poet by continuing a write they had done. A very nice first visit with you and I will return to read more.

It sounds like you are a very busy lady/gentleman. (I am sorry if I overlooked reading in your Bio your gender) You Bio itself was very interesting and I would have left you a comment there but I did not see where I could do that.

Blessings for your week,
Lesa
