Goddess

Do you feel the Goddess when you’re making love
The gentle grace that flows from above?


Do you smell the Goddess in an early rain
The transforming salve for your earnest pain?


Do you see the Goddess in the autumn moon
Her presence strong, and then gone too soon?


Do you taste the Goddess, in loves’ first kiss
Is she the one you’re afraid you’ll miss?


Do you know the Goddess and accept her all
Or within her Love do you fear the fall?


She’s adoring mother for whom you yearn
And ferocious murderess pale and stern


She reveals your soul with one shared breath
Then steadily pushes you toward death


If you trust the Goddess she is here with you
And gently guides what you say and do


If you glimpse the Goddess in the darkest night
You begin to have a God's sacred sight
