Close To Home – 4th October 2024

~ shaun tenzenmen

When the light pours out of me*
I will be there as your guide
A whisper from your guardian angel
To counter the devils at your side

Here is the lie of the land*
I’ll shield you from these rocky shores
Vigilant against the swelling tide
Forever knocking at your doors

When the light pours out of me
Together we shall roam
When the sunsets on the horizon
You are always close to home

  4. I’ve yet to meet my guardian angel, Shaun, and your poem has encouraged me to look for him or her. I love the lines:

    ‘I’ll shield you from these rocky shores
    Vigilant against the swelling tide
    Forever knocking at your doors’.
