Guardians

Despite being complete opposites, they had one common trait......

 I

I remember long ago 

when I was a child

whens life's troubles seemed no more to me,

but mild

A time long ago,

a time so distant,so far

a time so bright,yes bright, 

like a star

II

I was told of a story, 

no, a legend, of 2 souls

about their lives ,

and their solitary roles

the first soul was the angel,

from thy heavenly abode

the second was the devil,

whom,towards Satan followed 

III

the 2 were so different, 

yet shared a common trait

It wasn't coincidence,

for it was believed to be fate

for a devil who hated ,

and an angel that loved

to share the same desire, 

to be with their beloved

IV

But pity both souls for their beloved 

was long gone

Gone away to a place, 

they could never belong

The sorrow of both souls, 

echoed like a child's cry

to where will their broken hearts, 

slowly fading, now lie?

V

They both shared a wish, 

that was sincere and true

but there was no hope to grant it,

even if there was,

they had no clue

just to meet that one person,

that's all their was to it

the pain of such not granted,

the truth they did not want to admit

VI

The Gods looked upon them,

with deep pity

wanting to end

their cruel misery

they wanted to end 

their pain

but such was not easy

to attain

VI

God said that everyone, 

must feel sorrow

they have to move on

to a newer morrow

they couldn't bring happiness, 

to everyone

because the path to bliss, 

has just begun

VI

he granted the 2 souls ,

a mission

one that may lead, to their

sole ambition

the mission he gave,

had a path so arduous

that even the souls at first,

thought that it was ludicrous

VII

God paired both souls, 

though unlikable team

for a job that was more 

than what it seem

They should guide a human, 

from right to wrong

stick with them at all times

no matter how long

VIII

When the human dies, 

their wish will be granted

but not everything will be

the way as they had wanted

if the humans soul falls to sin

and goes to hell

only then will the devil see the wish's fruition 

and live to tell

the angel however will not be granted 

this desire

and together with the human's soul 

will fall to hell's fire

IX

The wish would be granted, 

but only to one soul

this was the only factor that 

left both souls heart at a toll

this indeed 

was a strenuous mission

one that wasn't supposed to seem 

like a competition

X

There are many complications 

to this peculiar task

that will surely uncover,

what lies beneath both soul's mask

their actions alone ,

will determine the end

be it bad or good 

who knows how fate will bend?

XI 

and so was the legend told, 

yet fell deaf to my ears

for such was but child's tale,

back in my younger years

who knew that such tale,

would prove most promising

to this young girl and 

her guardian story's beginning

years of desires ungranted....

years of unrelenting pain

you are all that I ever wanted ....

the light in the pouring rain
