My Guardian Angel

A Poem by Yellow Butterfly

╭∩╮(︶︿︶)╭∩╮



Standing on the busy platform

Wondering, what am I going to do?

 

Taking a train to nowhere

Should I have thought it through?

 

I board, I stop and look over my shoulder

Do I do this now before I get any older?

 

A need for a significance in my life to show

What is this, I do not know?

 

Blissfully wondering around aimlessly so

Not knowing where I should go?



About to embark on an amazing journey

Am I doing this in a hurry?


No family to keep me safe, I'm ready now

But who's going to help, show me how?

 

Experiencing a world of interesting places

Who are all these many faces?

 

Exotic cuisines from different cultures

Why do some people act like vultures?


A world stricken with poverty and corruption

Why are people driven by temptation?

 

So here I am on my journey to nowhere

Ticket master, “How much is my fare”?

 

Resting my head down on the window pane

pondering, will I ever return again?


So many lives out there, needing love and care

What's happening to this world we share?


Embarked on a lone journey seeking a place to hide

All this time you have been right here by my side..

I loved every moment of this piece and had to read it twice to make shure that i didnt miss anything. The entire metaphore is amazing and entirely accurate. This has to one of the best pieces that i have read this evening and is truly a work of art. Amazing work!

Lonliness encases us all at some point in time, even if we are surrounded by many. Doubt as well... Taking a journey into the unknown is a fearful move yet one that takes bravery. Well written and easy for so many to relate.

I think many of us have had similar thoughts when first venturing out into the world. And guardian angels? Yes, I definitely believe in them and think that some folks (like me) may have more than one.

A pleasing reminder that in the sometimes bewildering pathway ahead, we are helped by the presence of another, by a hand reaching out to hold and assure...

Nice write, creative doodle at the beginning as well, funny what the mind comes up with from time to time. I like it even though it flipped me off! (:
