Wings Of Glory

by Poet on the Piano   Jan 15, 2009


As I rest my head down wearily,
And my eyelids begin to close,
Your ongoing love shields me nearly,
Safe in your protection I dose.

My guardian angel forever beside me,
Extending your golden wings where I lay,
Like a comforting blanket no one can see,
Just like the whispering wind in May.

If someone asked to take a glance,
I couldn't prove a thing to them,
Not even your signature stance,
Or distinguish if you're a her or him.

People can think my mind's gone insane,
That it is a stage someday I'll get past,
But my rock hard faith I will always sustain,
And your determination will fully last.

    I liked the title, but it actually reminded me of that moive Blades Of Glory. XD That's just me though. It was a good title.

    As I rest my head down wearily,
    And my eyelids begin to close,
    Your ongoing love shields me nearly,
    Safe in your protection I dose.

    -- It's a nice feeling. Feeling safe. Nothing to fear and you can just relax. I didn't get the third like at first, but the I looked up the word nearly and found that it can mean close too. Haha. Clever. The flow is good, so is the rhyming.

    My guardian angel forever beside me,
    Extending your golden wings where I lay,
    Like a comforting blanket no one can see,
    Just like the whispering wind in May.

    -- I don't really like the word whispering. I don't know why, I guess it's because it's used a lot, but the flow and rhyming or good here too.

    If someone asked to take a glance,
    I couldn't prove a thing to them,
    Not even your signature stance,
    Or distinguish if you're a her or him.

    -- This stanza was kind of awkward to read, the flow is a little messed up, and in the last line I keep wanting to say him and her instead of her and him, but I like what you're saying in this stanza. It's like your gaurdian angel is your imaginary friend, no one can see him but you.

    People can think my mind's gone insane,
    That it is a stage someday I'll get past,
    But my rock hard faith I will always sustain,
    And your determination will fully last.

    -- I love this last stanza. Eveyone thinks you're crazy cause you're saying you have a gaurdian angel, but it's true and you'll keep believing it.

    Overall, I thought it was a good poem. :]

    Keep writing.

    This was a beautiful poem, indeed. We all have our guardian angels looking out for us i believe. Your poem was a stunning write, i really loved it.

    My guardian angel forever beside me,
    Extending your golden wings where I lay,
    Like a comforting blanket no one can see,
    Just like the whispering wind in May.

    Beautiful poem, beautiful message and yes...we all have our guardian angels. Once they lay down their earthly robe it's no longer clear what their gender might have been during their visit on earth, but who really cares? They are there to love, guide and protect us:)
    Great work, sweet girl!

    Hugs,
