Writer's Island 4/19/08 "Triumph"


Guardian

by Constance



From the apex of my eye,

I see mighty seraphim,

exalting me to burn with-

out as I once burned within.


On other thrones ophanim

whirl, devoted, round and round.

I'll never reach their pinnacle

they will never touch my ground.


But far from lofty summits,

away from virtue praised,

attending to me constantly

my guard angel faith conveys.

I know my guardian angel has had to put in some overtime.
Thanks!

Most do! At least until we get smarter. :)

I wouldn't see it as a guardian angel, but certainly our ability to thrive, to survive, and approach the journey accordingly.

Man I'm so in debt to my gaurdian angel it's not even funny. I heart my angel. :D

Lovely poem as usual!

Meghan, thanks!
The good thing is, guardian angels don't need thanks. They'd do the job even if you were an ungrateful wretch. :)
