Exquisite word-smithery! I was immediately taken by the poem's Odyssean bend. Currently, I'm reading "The Odyssey" along with a current companion piece by Dennis Patrick Slattery, "From War to Wonder, Recovering Your Personal Myth Through Homer's Odyssey."

I love how the Divine Feminine is such a foundation for your poem; not unlike Homer's epic, which reveals again and again that the North Star guidance and influence in the epic is feminine.

Thank you so much for this. Sending you all good wishes and goodwill, ~Stephanie

"...a symphony to the soul of Love."

I hope I'll have more to say in time, but I tend my fragile health now (warmer weather and sunshine will do wonders) and deal with the constant uproar of political chaos and destruction in this country which I have been unable to completely ignore. Be well, dear poet. Keep writing so I can keep reading.
