and visions she could see.
A maid who had a mission,
young Joan...

Joan of Arc

HE speaks, and messengers appear
To innocence of one so young in year

A peasant girl at that, who for most of the time,
Tended the animals in the fields, on my father’s farm,
In my hometown, Domremy France

you may be smitten
by her welders flash.

Your courage unfettered by doubt or dismay
Your character tempered to battle display
Enlistment from spiritual beings on high
The question of conflict you chose to comply
Of youth, beauty you considered for naught
Consequence to the war which you fought
Liberation for France by the hand of your deed
A King...

This quest arose for Jeanne d'Arc,
   A peasant girl engrossed in prayer.
   When voices deep inside her head,
