Ares, mighty god of war
with flashing eyes
and deafening roar
your battle cry chills
even the sturdiest of hearts.

Martial Lord
you are the frenzy of battle
the bloodlust of the hoard
You bolster our courage
and feed our drive toward victory.

Lord of the Dance
With passion and fury
you thrust deep with your lance
making us bleed our weakness away
strengthening our hearts against our enemies.

Instinctual and primal you stand aloft
you sneer at our fear and hate
yet with lips so soft
you whisper courage in my ear
Arming me with your touch.
Ares is another of my patron gods. he has a bad rep but its usually because he is misunderstood. The original "bad boy", he came from a troubled past but would not let it defeat him. He gives us courage, reminds us to stand up for ourselves and to not let people walk all over us. He pushes us to live our lives to the fullest and not to let fear and doubt hold us back from achieving our goals and breaking through our limitations. He also reminds us that its ok to be spontaneous, to live our lives with passion. He is the embodiment of the saying that goes "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming – "WOW – What a Ride!"
