Guardian Angel Please

I need one, never had one, no I won't pray at all

The life I am living

It makes me feel I am not thriving

I need a Guardian Angel

My breathes are shallow in this hospital bed

I can't see the light

I tried to fight

I wanted to lose this war

I thought that death

Was something to greet

On my own terms

I didn't speak

I just went along

I need a Guardian Angel

Come save me

Take me away from here

I don't need this

It is my nightmare

Please take me away

Take me to the skies

Where the sun always shines

Take me to the skies

Where sadness doesn't hide

It's always bright

Take me to the heavens

Where my life is an eleven

I rule there by my own rules

No one controls me

Take me to the skies

Oh 

Those white clouds never hide

Take me the skies

Where the days are light

Oh

Light up the heavens

With the joy of love

Make the common place

Look like a deserving race

Make the heavens praise

I need a Guardian Angel

I am lying here

No I am not praying

I don't need to

Take me away

I look through the window

There lies a white dove

Hey take me away

I close my eyes

The darkness smiles

"I will take you away

You were born in the wrong time

In the wrong place

It's ok now

You are going home

Where you want to go"

Let the heavens praise

I am coming home

No more saving grace

I have my race

Here in heaven

My saving race

I'm writing this review as if you are the voice that speaks this, but I understand you could be representing someone else's experience.
This poem opens my heart to you, understanding so much of what the poem speaks. The feeling that there is a place where you belong, that a guardian angel can fly you there, away from the world here as it is. And I do love the joy that comes when there is a feeling that you can be released. The theme of not being controlled is also so strong- the desire to play by your own rules. The rules here are unfair, or bind your soul- they are alien. Trying to find escape in death- whether physical or spiritual death- is a theme I resonate with. I too long for a heaven of beauty and peace removed from this world that has so much ugliness in it. An intense poem with many emotions and ideas opened for the reader to contemplate.

Oh my gosh. I love this review. Thanks so much! And yes this is so relatable to me. I am so glad you love this or like it. I was actually singing this when I wrote it.

[Marianne Rose]

I thought I heard a melody! Almost wrote to you that it would make a good song.

[Starr]

Ya, I was singing it as I wrote it. So yea a little song here I guess you can say

For me...getting to Heaven is my lifelong dream. Valentine

We all need a Guardian Angel sometime in our lives. You did a great job with this one.

When death is near. We need to know peace. I liked the flow of thoughts leading to strong ending. Thank you Starr for sharing the excellent poetry.

I really like this poem! It has a dark yet light feel to it. I think that's rare occurrence in poverty. It's usually one or the other. It comes across to me as sort of "one man's fear is another man's wish." Some people fear death but others welcome it. I don't think that was the way you intended it come across but that's how it resonated with me. Lovely poem.

[Starr]

Thanks so much! And actually that is kind of what I was getting at with this. I am so glad you like this one. I got a little confused trying to write this one, but I fixed it. Thanks Again!
