Imperfect Guardian
You’re missing your angel Your imperfect guardian— On her wings you would fly Not soar, perhaps, But so long as you could glide You were happy But now you fall Fall Fall Fall Down in a spiral Without her arms to catch you Without her strength to carry you Without her love to reassure you And so you keep falling Down Down Down With no end in sight Darkness surrounds you Darkness Dark Dark Dark Until a small light blinds you And my hand grabs you And pulls you back up As you hold me up as well Now we fly through the darkness Learning to glide once more Without her guidance Together

"Should I Depart Early" Unofficial Poetry Challenge
Hi, all! For those who haven't seen my poems from last week - yes, I'm back on Vocal after a long-ish hiatus. And yes, this has happened before. What can I say, I ebb and flow like the tide. It's become a regular enough thing that I think at some point soon I'll stop mentioning it entirely! But for now, I can think of no better way to get reconnected with this lovely community than to send out another unofficial challenge, and see what inevitable brilliance you lot conjure up. So without further ado, I'd like to announce the start of my "Should I Depart Early" Unofficial Poetry Challenge!

A Heart Beats for Me Inside a Brick Wall
A Heart Beats for Me Inside a Brick Wall Stone upon stone they carefully laid, Each weathered block another barricade. Some were built from whispered lies, Others born from tear-filled eyes. A few were placed by hands unknown, Leaving a fragile heart alone.
