Goddess, Are You Real?

The little child whispered, “Goddess, speak to me.”

And a meadowlark sang.

But the child did not hear.

So the child yelled, “Goddess, speak to me!”

And the thunder rolled across the sky.

But the child did not listen.

The child looked around and said, “Goddess, let me see you.”

And a star shone brightly.

But the child did not notice.

And the child shouted, “Goddess show me a miracle!”

And a life was born.

But the child did not know.

So the child cried out in despair, “Touch me Goddess,

And let me know you are here!”

Whereupon the Goddess reached down and touched the child.

But the child brushed the butterfly away,

And walked away unknowingly.
