🐆 ARTEMIS🏹

The goddess of the hunt is asleep
She does not walk tonight
Not a leaf nor a cat, a branch or a bat
Is awake or stirring outside

But there are nights and even days
When the woodland is alive
With the whip and whoosh and the ta-zing
Of her powerful arrows in flight

Artemis protects women and girls
And animals with hooves and wings
It is true, that she hunts them too
The animals, not the human beings!

She also has healing powers
The flu, measles or the mumps
Don’t have a chance when she’s around
She’ll pull you right out of the dumps

She is the goddess of nighttime
Of nature, moonlight and dew
She can transform into any creature
She can turn you into one too!

With her silver bow she is just grand
A huntress like her is rare
She never ever misses her mark
Be it a mean wizard or a hare

Sometimes Artemis spends time with her twin
Apollo the god of music and light
The woods are filled with laughter and song
And barbecues through the night.
