One Maiden had Ended the War
the maiden walked into the center of future city holding a shield
protected by ancestors, spirit guides and archangel Michael
the bullets ceased for the first time in twenty-six hours
the city was still
both armies were watching
she was a sorceress of some type
whose side was she on?
both generals waited, wanting to claim her
she held the shield up to show her strength
lightning bolts flashed out toward the center of the city
Was she a devil or an angel?
The generals waited, not wanting to displease the gods
Diane, goddess of the hunt, one thought.
A mystical, magical queen thought the other.
message of ceasefire was received in both their minds that day
One maiden had ended the war.
