A Woman's Plight, Athena, Male Bonding, Myths & Legends

Embodiment

This is why the Goddess Herself
Had not married god nor mortal

For she had loved and lost
Bearing griefs of betrayal

But she did not become cynical
Although men have felt her Ire

No – instead she searched in scriptures
Heard in winds the Holy Ghost singing

Planted seeds for Trees of Tomorrow
Helping others find North in sorrow

She resigned her heart to solitary solace
Delighting in life’s colours and textures

Spun interwoven silk stories with spiders
Cajoled with Fates to ease human troubles

Only dreaming in innermost sanctum
Somehow a pure heart would awaken

Who’d be strong and wise enough to see
How the world was made for our eternity

And would love her as she would love He
While the Earth traveled peaceful galaxies
