Guardian - Goddess of Cemetary Gates

Who am I,  you ask?  Do you really want to know?
I am the guardian of eternal silence
protector of souls

Who am I, you ask?  I am the gatekeeper to
the mysteries of the hereafter, many
enter through iron hinges of altered-reality but,
 only the living leave hauling hearts of grief

Who am I, you ask? I am goddess of  
eternal rest, on  dark rainy days
listen, the weeping willow cries
mourning for life's losses

Who am I,  you ask?  I am the caretaker
of sacred ground.  As you walk upon
the land be mindful, leave an offering
flowers, prayers and even tears
watering the soils of yesterday

Who am I, you ask?  I am key-holder
of lost dreams and nightmares
locking away pain and sorrow
from the journey of life

Who am I,  you ask?  I am Goddess Guardian
of  Cemetery Gates.  Mediator between
darkness and light...
I am the watchful eyes of
a thousand souls wishing to be free
