Guardian of My Soul

Few people ever get the chance to meet
the guardian of their soul eternal
Their lives never truly complete
Not even in a dream nocturnal

An angel dressed all in virgin white
First time you came to me
For seventeen years, my loving sprite
When you died, the emptiness- an angry banshee

Distraught and lost, missing you for years
Lost on this plane, seeking truth
I learned, fused souls need no tears
Always together, life and death skimming through

Magic gift worked from the Gods to protect
My aching, seeking half has come together
In any mortal shell, you are perfect
Again in this life, every storm we shall weather

Do not ignore the gifts 
that gods adorn you with
Everyone has a hope and wish
Be not blind or reject the myths

Look around yourself at your world
Open your eyes, only the ignorant truly die
Would you see your twin, if in front of you hurled?
For those lost, I beg of you to try

Guardian of my soul eternal
I embrace you in your entirety
You are my twin, my guide- internal
Souls circling, forever you and me.

Won 8th place the "Angels Among Us" contest by Constance- PS's Rambling Poet.

Amy, I'm glad you were able to put the grief behind you when you realized your "angel" would always be with you. As you say so well, "fused souls need no tears." God bless you, dear, and have a wonderful Fourth of July weekend! Love, Carolyn
