Prompt 12 June 12 from TSL

  "You think I'm not a goddess?" From Helen of Troy etc., by Margaret Atwood given by Gauri Dixit

 "You think I'm not a goddess?" 

What do you call 

Weaving day after day

A word tapestry

From common words

Lasting to the end of the world.

Everyday the task is renewed

For the words have evaporated 

‘Tis a punishment worthy of Tantalus

But it’s lauded as a virtue

For I am a goddess 

Patience and eternity

Are my domains.
