THE GUARDIAN

close your eyes for a moment
hear the birds sing
lapping of the ocean waves
everything nature brings

upon the highest mountain peak
fresh air in the breeze
euphoria envelopes the soul
unearthed to appease

peace to the condemned being
hope rests in unease
gather your thoughts in prayer
the moment must be seized

the guardian bellows justice
to all the world's maker
love conquers the beast
forgiving sins of the taker

destiny placates the arrival
protectors of the realm
misjudgment darkens all
conquered grievance overwhelms

shining of the light
breaking of the clouds
the guardian lets loose
released tension allowed

only the protector
can honor these rights
be free to the heavens
spread your wings in flight
