Guardian Angel

On the pink feet of innocence
she falls across the twilight sky.
A call, however faint has
gone out from the darkness
of the earth below.
God spoke the words into
celestial ears and now she 
answers on wings of light.
Spun by the touch of moonbeams
and handfuls of star dust,
on alabaster wings she floats
unto the muddy slimy ground.
She leaves behind the glory
and the shining light of heaven,
to protect and guard
the delicate hearts on earth.
God’s gift to his wayward children.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
