Inheriting the Voice of a Goddess

I looked to the day
and her blue rimmed eyes
with a burning stare
in the walk of Adam's son,
and I am defeated

I looked to the night
finding the silent black
a mirror to my soul
I am Paleothea
and I am conquered

I look to the moon
as the fingers of my
spirit mind reach out
I brushed the profound
howling fulfillment
at the arrival  
of my Imago

Superb JayCee

To look into deep into the eyes of love and find your soul again, to feel that sensation and put it into words, can only be exhilarating. Xena

Dear Judd

I never felt like a goddess but I am Loved and for once in my life I know it and never doubt it :) and thats due to the people that inspire me and also the ones who make me work harder push me to the limit ... those last lines are inspired by Anna so if they are good its because they belong to her ;) in a round about way lol love and big hugs JayCee x x x ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.

That was great Jayne! I only

That was great Jayne! I only had issue with one little line You used "I" in to lines in a row, for me would read much better if you lost one and said I look to the moon as the fingers of my spirit mind reach out I brushed the profound I howl fulfillment at the arrival of my Imago I look to the moon as the fingers of my spirit mind reach out I brush the profound howling fulfillment at the arrival of my Imago In my humble opinion, it may read better. But this is a lovely write! Julie D.D.
