Guard Poem by Anita Sehgal

Stand Guard e'fore the citadel of your mind....
Lest they enter invited..
Choose well before granting them permission.
Irrespective of where they come from…
For they sneak in before you know.

Shut the gates on the rotten ones.
For they will soon poison the foundations of your castle.
Seek out the ones which will freshen and lighten, spread glow and love
And your castle is alite with a thousand candles which shall shine from afar.
