Why do they sit and guard at the gates, what are the horrors that they await?
Why do they guard the portal, why do they never sleep what is it they guard why is this their fate.
Why for millenniums have they stood by their posts
Why, …… is it to save us from aliens or ungodly hosts?
What are they protecting us from, what fiendish hell are they shutting out
What is it fighting to get in and attack this world and wipe it all out!?
What is the secret they keep , what would happen if they open the portal for us to take a peek.
What is the horrible truth that they keep , are you ready to hear and face the words that I speak.
It is not us they are saving, is it not us they protect ,
NO! It is all the other dimensions and worlds across the threshold …… they will not let us infect!
It is shocking and fearful for us to be told
It is us that we are the evil from all other worlds and dimensions they must withhold!!

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

interesting perspective 🙂 and probably entirely true 🙂
Thanks Bee, I think we are our own worst enemy!
That’s why aliens don’t bother with us 🙂 we manage to destroy ourselves perfectly well on our own 😉
And that’s the truth!
🙂 🙂 🙂
Powerful!
Thanks Ritu it is part of a story I wrote some years back, I though of it as soon as I saw the prompt. How are you keeping. xxxx
I’m good thanks! And you? Xx
I good too! 😊
Lovel this, Willow.
Thanks Jean xxx😊
Protection…love the idea of that, Willow.
Hugs 🤗
Hmmm, I often consider things as the opposite of most. For instance many insist that those tall steel transmission towers are held up by guy wires. Personally I think the towers are left by aliens and are being held down by the wires or they would soar off into space.
Very interesting Paul very interesting!!
Yes… we do assume the opposite, don’t we? Nicely done
Thanks Dale how are you, how was your holiday?
