In praise of the Goddess

Leave some time

Don’t pick me apart
if you’re not going to put me back together

Don’t pick me up
if you can’t lay me to rest,
gently,
as you would a feather

Don’t shine too brightly,
leave some room for twilight
so your eyes can sparkle

Tend to the flames,
don’t burn out without me,
leave some time for me to love you
