goddess in stone body
by Tim Kavi
I see you walking
gracefully
and lanky; standing there
when I looked again
a Gestalt occurred
For I thought
I only saw
a statue bare
but heard a whispered word
starlets had it on film
but you have it all over
the world
the universe
the room
and in the Natural setting
the World is your stage
where your gowns are all the rage
and when I see you
walking down the path
I see only the living goddess
a statue walking
for Her stone images
are in your body
and your body is in her stone
as you move
I feel my heart go with You
following Her
in following You
but in the stone
is not the divinity found
but in your body
enshrined in muscle and bone
the goddess
moves and breathes
and lives
and has Her being
in you,
the Goddess of stone
has found Her body
and found her home.
