Lady In White

There's one 'demon' I can be thankful for.

A lady dressed in white

Like an angel she sings

Sweet soft lullabies

With her gentle protective wings

 

Walking through the fog

In the clouded misty air

Through the light of the darkness

Ending my nightmare

 

Peaceful and serene

In her garden of flowers

Whispering so softly

As I lie in myself for hours

 

The shades of red roses

To match her hair

Floating through the clouds

Singing away the despair

 

Drying away

My broken tears

In this heavy heart of mine

Filled with sorrows and fears

 

Shielding me with her wings

Through the moonlit night

When I hear her sweet voice

I know everything will be all right

Author's Note

Out of all the demons in my own mind, there is a lady dressed in white that comes to me when I'm at my darkest in my dreams. I assume she's my guardian angel.

I'm not sure how you say this is a demon since demons - as far as anything I've ever learned about them - don't bring blessings or gentleness of any kind, but just the opposite. What you describe sounds loving and protective and I hope the "gift" you speak of them bringing is one of healing and not of death as at least of your previous reviewers said. I guess we all see different meanings in things, which is one of the great things about writing anyway. I always like it when someone sees something in my work that I wasn't even aware of or had considered. :)

I loved how you just put all of this awesome imagery together to effectively produce this very vivid and omgosh...just amazing portrait of this guardian angel...
dang, i absolutely loved the slow pace of it and at the end it just explains everything.
it was soothing and calming and a lot of emotions, and for the most part took little to no thought to convey such a beautiful image of an angel.

just dang.

I agree with Rachel, as I don't believe the beautiful picture you have woven of this creature, could be a demon. Demons don't bring us peace. I do believe the angelic presence you talk about is, as you suspect in your Author's note, a guardian angel. The imagery was perfect. Very well written.

im not so sure, blackbirdsong! demons do all sorts of things...the diff is that their comfort is to suit a selfish purpose.
But i like the idea of ur mind projecting an angel of sorts to help u thru difficult periods...defense mechanism, maybe? Something ur subconscious devised to prevent u from going insane?

oh this is just so very awesome!
I love the way you wrote it very sure of what you had to say.
Talented you are.

[Forest Green]

Your poem is picture perfect. Not one thing to change; visuals, brightness, hope, sadness are all touched upon skillfully.

Very good. I truly enjoyed reading it.

Such a visual piece. I felt as if i slipped into your mind and was witnessing your dreams take place. i think you captured that wonderfully. I think the lady in white is something more than she appears. But you are the only one that will know for sure. I loved this and think you really did an amazing job with this.


Great Job!!!!!!
