Guardian

An angel whispered in my ear,
sang serene songs that released tears.
He shined light on my atmosphere,
gently taught me to ease all fears.

This angel made pure peace adhere,
he took my hand and pulled me near.
Shifted my gears, made my views clear,
kissed my forehead then disappeared.

I felt alone also afraid,
my angel left, his love betrayed.
He grabbed my heart, used it to play,
all sadness grew, my grief was weighed.

The sunny light transformed to shade,
fell on my knees, silently prayed.
How could divine love slip away?
Why does true joy refuse to stay?

His bright presence soon re appeared,
he sang his song, I danced and cheered.
Warmth cut my sorrows like sharp shears,
enhanced my life, my steps he steered.

Soft lingered song felt so sincere,
he volunteered to guide my years.
Instant relief, love persevered,
forever pure, profound and dear.

A Journey

Stories written every day,
as people form history.
Reflective fears on display
anguished eyes hide misery.

Vast seas carry frantic tears,
night tides bring dark shadows.
Sleepwalk through a beach so clear,
each foreseen step feels shallow.

Navigate through anchored dreams,
every goal left on the shore.
Gamble through loud muted screams,
winning always begs for more.

Greedy and needy hunger
takes big bites off the apple.
Thirsty eyes look much younger,
drown sorrows lighting candles.

Stale wishes sunk by weighed goals,
are absorbed like a soaked sponge.
Memories rip through the soul,
helpless knots caught in both lungs.

A mouthful of air brings hope,
conscious instincts soon arise.
Run upon a high tight rope
watch destiny play all sides.

The past flies high in the air,
as the future is revealed.
Balanced lessons seem unfair,
yet provide sound ways to heal.

Each new life takes a first breath,
as another takes their last.
Everyone’s tale holds great depth,
made of chapters they surpass.
