Joan And she believed in the voices, as they In her, using a slim figure’s vessel as their own armour; In that she would sally forth On great white horse, To do the bidding of one true God… St. Catherine held her dear; St. Margaret she knew by voice; St. Michael brought to her the crown To take before the King And she believed in the voices. Honest voices in tell of truth To her knees she fell in soot That she a virgin, even child Would cut her tress and dress as men To bring a light to region’s ken …..and at this, they thought her wild. And she believed in the voices. Even as the voices said She would face a day to dread Though she was to never fear And she believed in the voices. For they were sent by God to hear Her say “I accept as true.” Honesty was this virgin’s bless As she stood each day, in confess Of nothing more than reality Of the voices that came to she; But those who heard her talk of voices Stripped her of any choices To make a difference As she had done ~ And she only cried when St. Michael had gone. For her soul called to be with them. ~*~ To believe in the voices That come to you ~ Lift your face to the light As a chosen one’s due. |
