Joan of Arc

 


Joan of Arc

 

Did visions appear?

Saints speak to her?

Michael, Catherine, Margaret—

sent from God?

Urge a twelve year old

maiden to sacrifice herself,

boldly lead the army

of France to victory?

Pyrrhic for her,

Joan burned,

only nineteen.

Did she see angels,

the smoke of her body

waft toward Heaven?

Faith put her feet

in the fire.
