Who guards the gate?
at the threshold of your heart
who do you summon?
as day closes
into thickest night
wrapping the enemy
on the blind road
to assault
hurtling towards you
hoping to whirl through
a swinging door
of insult
wearing a cape of
envy and opposition
vanity and threat
How has the intruder overcome you
careening over delicate hopes
leaving fragments of once-formed thoughts
Claim your holy space
believe the voice
that hovers and shivers
in the corner of your soul
too timid to claim its right to be
heard, seen, and loved
Dare to create the gate
laced with steely light
and guards who mirror
shame to cowards in the night
Face forward -moon bold
reflecting reality
armed with word-swords
secret and spoken
that deflect lies
dissolve cloaks
dispel mists and mysteries
revealing faces
showing truth
How the marauders disappear
when the castle gate is closed
bidden by you
its queen and mistress
guardians appear
impassive but imposing
wielding calm unyielding force
opening or closing- a shield or a door
make your boundaries ever secure
