The Divine Goddesses

The sheer elegance of Durga
seated majestically on her mount
the great golden lion
She sets out to destroy evil

The incomparable beauty of Parvati,
her midnight tresses unending
The epitome of femininity
she mothers the world

The fiery glory of Saraswati
Perfect in its glowing sparks
Seated upon her abiding peacock
her fingers pluck the Veena

The mesmerising face of Kali
terrible in its powerful fury
She dances to death's own music
as she drinks the blood of demons

The gentle stance of Lakshmi
reclining on the cosmic ocean
The dark hues in her eyes
Hold the secrets of the universe
