The Pages Of Time

A Mystically Temporal Villanelle

This is just an idea inspired by interests that I have in common with my Muse, and presented as a villanelle.

As I was writing this it became clear that the most common religions today have no Goddesses, which says a lot I think.

If they have no place for a Goddess they have no place in my poem.

I chose The Streets song for the title though has a few minore connections to my poem, but it is very insistent, and I like it.
