In my unabashed past when skin was thin and hair long and flowing, a sarong and a thong was all my goddess needed to feel enchanting. I was at the peak of femininity. Estrogen winds caressed my skin under the billowing skirt that I would flirt. I felt confident and strong. I owned the day all day long, and a few nights too. But, it was too good to be true. I fell in love, as goddesses often do, with a man that when it came to Goddesses hadn’t a clue. He’d never heard of such a crock, dismissed it as wacky woman talk. I thought the concept was simple I could simply explain… I tried to, again and again. But he just didn’t get it. I couldn’t fit it into his head. So slowly my Goddess faded from sight. Now, because of a lack of attention she’s dead. LGR©12/14/15 |

That 'gods' and 'goddesses' once existed in us is a magical refrain waiting for the sweetness of the melody to return, as it always does.

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Oh no, the Goddess in you may just be asleep for a while just to awaken again to a new golden time. Goddesses can't fade away, they are of resistant substance ... star dust, let's say! It was a joy to read you and I am looking forward to the awakening ... it will be explosive, no doubt! Love, Margherita ![]() |

"But he just didn’t get it. I couldn’t fit it into his head". So I asked myself, him or me? So I faded him to black So? The Goddess lives once more. Sosueme. Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me! |

Kind sir, Apparently she was only sleeping. But, a voice from far away stirred her slumber. She is waking now. Still groggy and disheveled, she is smiling none the less. ~L |
