The Guardian

He pours through my soul, like silky hot chocolate; I dream of loving smiles and a golden heart. A guardian spirit whose voice I’ve heard only once. You kept me safe as I trembled, looking down that gun barrel and told me things would be fine if I didn’t move. No child should be a bullets victim and you interceded; kept that demon brat’s finger and the trigger. Now I see you in dreams or a fleeting glance in a corner of my eye; you’re always there; the granddad I never had a chance to know, in this life. Spirits ride the winds; Soft etheric caress is A spirit’s embrace.

Besma, thank you; yes we do and I think I have a good one. I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to "fav" it. May you be blessed in the New Year and may your light be a beacon for others.
