The Guardian
He stands like steel in the sun,
Vigilance his naked sword,
Wings arched above his head,
He utters not a word,
The deafening silence of his face,
God of the fortunate son,
Bane of darkness and its oppressors,
I kneel before this majestic one,
In kind he turns his benevolent gaze,
His sword mere inches from my throat,
Radiance like starshine on my face,
Most would pause to gloat,
I am infected by his presence,
Consumed with seeds of hope,
Steel fingers grasp a head bent low,
Fallen I grasp the mercy rope,
Embraced within his angelic gaze,
The guardian of tragic souls
I melt into his stern embrace,
Enslaved by eyes as fiery coals,
He bids me come to stand a'near,
I am his until the dangers pass,
The scent of him intoxicates,
Yet none may reach beyond the glass,
My guardian stands like shining steel,
I am succored from any wrong,
Unfulfilled in his placid silence,
His ears will never hear my song.
