I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I tried to a few weeks ago, but the site was temporarily not accepting new posts. Then I went on a long vacation, and have just gotten back to normal life (I'm bummed to say).
Lovely poem, Rach.
I must confess, I'm terrible with symbolism. Who/what is the "goddess"?
