MY INVINCIBLE INVISIBLE SPIRIT GUIDE.

My rugged companion
My ever present help
My all knowing and all knowledge teacher
The great one that loves beyond reasons,
Lost in the desert,
When all friends forsook me
Your infallible in-built compass
Guided me to the true north
Under the torrential rain
In the scorching sun
Amisdt the monstrous tempest of life,
Your presence gave me hope
Always there for me
You provided solace to my forlorn soul
You taught me how to laugh,
When famine besieged me
You taught me how to smile,
When war roar in my enclave
Your league with the stones
Your covenant with the wild beasts
Were my insurance policy for;
Protection, immunity and safety
I’m not a nomad,
But had always wandered away
Like a stubborn lost cow
From the place of safe grazing
Whenever I declined your instructions
Your protective power
Is my strength
They comforted me
And gave me the assurance to forge ahead
You taught me the dynamics of laughter
And as I laughed; laughed and laughed again,
My health rejuvenated
My countenance glowed
My persecutors got confounded,
Paralyzed and buried their faces in shame

Oh my invincible invisible spirit guide
To depart from you
Is to depart from life
To depart from you
Is to depart from light
To depart from you
Is to depart from love
How can I survive in the dungeon of dead bones?
How can I breathe in darkness?
How can live in the atmosphere bereft of love?
To function outside your ecosystem,
To stray away from your presence,
To dwell not within your border lines;
The circumference of your coverings
Is to embrace the stinging proboscis of death
Therefore, I can’t risk to depart from you
Because in you, I found the essence of life
Within your ambience is light
In the effulgence of your presence,
Is power, beauty and all the treasures of life.

You tried so much @scribal, please do well to apply text-justify in your post and paragraph stop so that it will be easy to read.

Affirmative, but this is poetry. They are written in verses and stanzas, no paragraphing, either right/ left aligned or centralized. It's the structure of writing poems. In this case, I chosed to centralized it. Thanks ❤️
