Deities live within me
And speak to my ear inside
No particular era or geography
But Now and Here – always on time
The clothes they wear – not important
Their stories reveal paths broken in part
Tonight Athena and Hermes
Came from the basement
Messages, compassion
Stormy temper, craft,
Wisdom bursting from pain
I balance the voices, echoing aspects similar
It’s the stories that are everything
In the end unexpected treasure to gain.
