My Angel

Maybe you heard me calling you
my silent whispers
echoing in the cold night
Maybe you saw my tears
reflected in an ocean under moonlight
Or felt my fear 
through the heat of a flickering flame.

Before you came

I was nothing
but a shadow of a lonely ghost
You came to me
when I needed you the most
No longer sat in the shadows am I
stepped out into light
with my head held high

No longer do I feel alone
for I know now 
I am never alone

You are here by my side 
you always have been
and always will be
My true friend
My angel

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.
