Silver moon mirrored in silver eyes
Beauty of soft starlight.
Red rose bleeds
On broken ground
Two graves dug deep.
Silver moom mirrored in silver eyes,
Crying silver tears.
Stars mourn, Sky weeps
Silver drops of rain.
Silver crown
Upon the ground
Washed, washed away.
Silver moon mirrored in silver eyes
Knows not these things.
No one knows what those eyes will do
Except she.
Revenge heavy in her heart
Dead or alive mattering not
Attacking in broad daylight.
By night she moves with bloody sword
All about the land,
But no longer does she weep
For her enemies are dead.
Silver moon mirrored in silver eyes
Beauty of soft starlight.
Keen her sword.
Straight her lance.
Beware the woman
The only woman
Of the warrior class!


The author's comments:
I wrote this because I felt that a testimonial to women of the Middle Ages was necessary, especially to one who was not a weak, wilting flower at the first sign of death or danger. She never existed, at least in historical texts, but I believe that not all the women of this time period were as weak-willed as they were portrayed to be.
