wow, your poems are so original, in their structure and their wording. everything about this poem reminded me of an intricate hedge maze. i loved the idea in it that there was someone there looking out for you, someone always guiding you...and that touch of darkness, the inability to use that guidance to its full potential was just perfect, a great touch - for of course, whats a poem to me without that hint of dark? heh.
