In the Presence of a Goddess

      I rode the curl of love's wave last night
      Held gently in the warmth of her spirit
      I felt an otherworldly presence and knew
      It was you

      I was carried in love's arms and saw the world anew
      As I held your hands under the ebony sky
      The stars sang their melody 
      And you became a shimmering vision of beauty 

      I listened to the melody and heard your voice
      And watched transfixed as your goddess energy
      Spread lightly o'er the mountaintop
      Infusing everything it touched with the beauty of your soul.

      Your very being is a gift to this lifetime
      A treasure I hold most dear
      You dwell in my heart, O goddess
      As loved, as life itself

      You are as a flower in the garden of my life
      Your fragrance is a reminder
      Of the wonders and mysteries of life
      And of the purity and simplicity 
      That your love showers upon the earth.
