Weird the things one thinks up in the long hours before dawn!


________________________________________________


Watchful Angel

Dark night winds do blow
around the ruins, and Time
and I stand my eternal watch
upon the bastion of eternity

Into the distance, and beyond
I seek the end of my quest
my duty to fulfill, as promised
such must finally come to be

The final moment yet to come
maybe hidden, amid so many others
and only my Master knows for sure
and we know not, or need to, you see

So I watch, and mark Time alone
upon this empty plain, forever
my task is fixed, so I must it do
awaiting Armageddon, to face, not flee

Good morning, Johnn.


Eerie and filled with mystery and haunting. Reminds me of those Gothic stone Angles watching over old ruins.

Very good.

Here's one about my angels...

All Through the Night

Sleep my child and peace attend thee,
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping
I my loved ones' watch am keeping,
All through the night

Angels watching, e'er around thee,
All through the night
Midnight slumber close surround thee,
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping
I my loved ones' watch am keeping,
All through the night

Angels of our military
All through the night
Keep the watch and guard our safety
All through the night.
While we sleep,  peace is protected
Heroes stand, their strength reflected
Honor, duty not neglected
All through the night.
