Diana the Archer

For anyone going through emotional trauma or shock. (I don’t know if this works as a song or just a poem.)

By Jayne McClurePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

My name is Diana the Archer that hunts by the moon

I have come to bring you my armour of unearthly metals.

Stronger than steel but soft like pure gold.

Wear this armour and feel yourself breathing deeply and rhythmically

Feel its strength, embracing and protecting you from any attacks of nature or man

Feel it firmly supporting all your organs, and the skin and bone underneath

These unearthly metals will graft back the skin from wounds of organs and flesh

My father is Mars and my mother is Venus

Much have they taught me

But I am a Goddess in my own right

I love to roam these forests alone

And need for nothing

As I am the strongest of all women

But love to nurture and heal

And I see you are wounded

My name is Diana the archer that hunts by the moon

I have come to bring you my armour of unearthly metals

Stronger than steel but, soft like pure gold

Wear this armour and feel yourself breathing deeply and rhythmically

Feel its strength embracing and protecting you from attacks of nature and man

Feel it firmly supporting all your organs and the skin and bone underneath

These unearthly metals will graft back the skin from wounds of organs and flesh

Come take this armour

Use it to give you the strength that you need

And wear it until it has fulfilled its purpose

Or until you still feel its support even after its gone
