The woodland was sleeping, the air crisp and cold
All time was forgotten, in this land of old.
Awakened from dreaming, I crept in the night
The glow from the lantern was my only light.
The silence around me, caressed all my fear
A soft voice was singing, it beckoned me near
For there in the distance, I saw a bright star
It called for an answer, this voice from afar.
My feet were so frozen, I hardly could walk
My throat was constricted and I couldn't talk
So I had to listen and watch with delight
As my Guardian Angel came within my sight.
She hovered before me, a message to give
A vision of hope told me how I should live
No longer the victim, I had to break free
She gave me the power, she would protect me.
I waited a moment and then I turned round
I found myself floating so far from the ground
To see myself sleeping,a star on my head
I smiled with new knowledge and got into bed.
The sunlight was waiting as I rubbed my eyes
At last I was ready, much stronger and wise.
I said I was leaving and walked out the door
A couragous action, a victim no more.
The woodland was sleeping,I walked, head held high
I whispered my thankyou to my friend on high
She answered in welcome the gave me a sign
My new love was waiting, at last peace was mine.

The title "My Angel" got my attention! This piece is beautiful, it reminds me of the coldness of winter and it has this underlying tone of desperation to be free and have a peace of mind and heart.
I really like the ending, it sounded very hopeful. Once again, well done!

This was probably one of the most romantic pieces of poetry I have read in quite awhile. It was full of so much tender emotion and at the same time it was very well written with an excellent flow and fantastic rhyming. The imagery was wonderful as well. I am not sure if I am familiar with your work or not but I absolutely adore this! Nice job. Not that you need it but good luck in the contest!

Awsome,
I am an avid rhymer, so this is right on q, wonderful rhythm and rhyme, all the way through. I believe we all have guardian angels, just as there are angels who walk among us. This is really beautiful and worthy of applaud.
Just a few typos I see:
(last stanza..thankyou/thank you
the/then gave me a sign)
Sincerely,
Sassy
