Guardian Angel

original artwork by author

I was so lonely,
A heart filled with despair,
Mourning for a lost love,
Crying tears of sorrow.

My heart had given up hope.
I had all but forgotten my dreams.
I walked alone into the night,
Under a cloak of darkness.

Suddenly a brilliant light flooded the sky,
A streak of lightening, a clap of thunder.
You appeared beneath a full moon,
And reached out to me.

I was afraid,
Afraid to let you near,
To love, to trust, to feel,
But you did not give up.

You dried my tears of sorrow.
You took my hand into your own,
And wrapped yourself around me,
Enveloping me in your warmth.

Echoes of the moonlight shined upon us,
And upon the water's edge,
As you opened up your heart to me,
And held me to it fast.

As the hours flew by I saw the vision,
That you showed me of a new day,
One of love and happiness,
One of timelessness and dreams fulfilled.

As the golden light of morning sun,
Beckoned us from the night,
You lifted me into your arms,
And carried me up to the heavens.

The new day had begun,
And I could see the light,
Like a million tiny candles,
All burning soft and bright.

Now I will not walk alone again,
I have everything I need,
For you are the guardian of my life,
An angel from a dream.

Celestial Dream

source

Celestial bodies shine up high,
As we ride beneath the midnight sky.
A Heavenly light to brighten our way,
As we travel beyond yesterday.

Perhaps it’s just an angel’s love,
One more chance from up above,
To ride beneath the stars together,
To be free as one forever.

Maybe we share,
More than we could have believed,
In our past hopes and dreams.
And baby we’re there,
Alone beneath the moonlit sky,
Making love as one on high,
In my celestial dream.

Down the long road through the night,
The past is dim, the future bright.
An angel in the stars above,
Is how I feel wrapped in your love.

All we seek is what we find,
As we open up our hearts and minds,
Silvershine on passionate fire,
Celestial blessings take us higher.

Maybe we share,
More than we could have believed,
In our past hopes and dreams.
An unanswered prayer,
Alone beneath the moonlit sky,
Making love as one on high,
In my celestial dream.
