The Last Angel

She sat as still as a statue
Her gaze straight ahead
Resolute
Without fear
Strength of purpose
The angel stood proud 
She felt the world as it unbalanced
She knew the fate of men
Was in her hands
She dare not fall 
She dare not fail
Above her the sky darkened
The forces of darkness circled
She was the last angel
Gabriel
The one that had brought glad tidings
The one that loved her God and men
She, mighty archangel of God
Arose to meet the foe 
In her full glory radiating light
Radiating love
Swords clashed shields rang out
The mighty serpent fell
Fell with a horrific roar
AS he hit the ground
He returned to his true form
Lucifer, the archangel more beautiful than stars
He was chained again to Earth 
Men were safe again 
For another 1000 years
She wept
