Diana

I Am Greek Artemis, Roman Diana,

Princess,

crown of the night.

I Am the changing Moon!

Twin sister to the sun,

I was mid-wife at My brother's birth,

to save My mother.

My life is a cycle of phases,

puzzle pieces

whole and broken

growing and waning

bright and dark

empty and full

(poor little rich girl.)

My bright coins

are thrown dancing on the sea!

You know Me by

My drawn bow,

My radiant arrows,

My little curved knife,

My fleet sandals flying,

My slender silver horns.

I Am One

in crescent self-mirroring:

welcoming and defensive,

huntress and hunted,

wild and free,

eternally young,

timeless, deathless

self-renewing,

playing with opposites.
