HNT 18 - I am the Amazon

Lady Godiva by John Collier

I am the amazon, the wild woman, the warrior and the explorer

My eyes are set on the stars that will lead me to foreign lands

Where I hunt and fight against all odds

I fear nothing nor no one to trouble my peace

I am the amazon, the wild woman, the warrior and the explorer

My tired body is longing for some rest under the starry sky

In a green meadow, in the shadow of a willow or a chestnut tree

My bow and shield resting on my side among the fireflies

I am the amazon, the wild woman, the warrior and the explorer

In the secret of the night, in the arms of my beloved I long to rest

Yet my warrior was nowhere to be found, nor did he hear my call, and left

I will go my way through the deserts , over the mountains, across the seas

I am the amazon, the wild woman, the warrior and the explorer

I will hunt and fight and lead my lonely life, fending for the pure land of my ancestors

And during the evening gatherings with my sisters, I will think

Of this fair warrior, who will take me in his arms under the stars

and cover my body with burning kisses in a dance of the senses
