the great warrior queen
Linda M. Crate
i was always told i was
destined for greatness
so i am here to stand before you now
you thought i was slain but
the ravens, swans, and horses
sewed me together
with the hands of both the sun and moon
every tree, every flower, every ocean
knows my name and my purpose;
i am a warrior of love and light
the queen of the dreamers
who will never be vanquished
especially not by the hands of any nightmare
perhaps your monsters should’ve done their homework
i will etch you so far deep into the underworld
that you will not be found by the caretaker of the deepest
pit of hell whose agony will surrender you
to the eternity of time.
