Walk With Me...

Great intro: 

There are countless places on this earth
Where angels will not tread

I know of several places in Ohio, that would be dangerous to venture to at night. I sat outside in my car, taking photographs of the moon one night without worrying about my personal safety.

I sat in the car with my windows rolled down, the car unlocked and fear in my heart. I wouldn't have wanted to be on foot, at least in a car, there is some protection. I saw a man walking down the side walk, he was carrying a forty ounce bottle of beer. He walked off the side walk, then out into the street, making his way to my car.

I used the power windows, the power locks and rushed away from the street, into a more lit area of parking that was reserved for residents of the building. After that night, I decided to be "afraid" of being alone in darkness, because I am a woman and because I carry no weapon. Well, with the exception of a drum stick, my brother gave to me after a rock concert. I would put the drum stick up my sleeve of my coat, then old on to the end with my right when walking outside at night. 

Sorry to drone on. Your poem made me think about all the places in the world where an angel would not venture, however they are "angels" and I believe without them, we would have no safety at all. 

Thanks for sharing your poem. 

Hope you don't mind me sharing some of my personal story. Our home was almost broke into last year, since that time, I stopped going outside in the middle of the night to take photographs. It's a bummer, there has to be fear. 

I am SO with you MICHAEL!!....I was once in a VERY bad part of Mexico City....... late at night with a VERY Blonde woman......a friend of mine from South Africa named KARINA (coincidentally enough)...... we had been dancing at a late-night club and were going to the airport in the morning to head to Los Angeles...... She was a stoner and desperately wanted a doobie so we followed a guy we had met at the club in a taxi..... it was a HUGE mistake....... and we knew it as soon as we got out of the taxi...... there were eyes peering at us from windows all around us....I recognized instantly that we could be killed here and no one would EVER know...... but somehow something inside of me just calmed "WAY DOWN" and I put my hands up and said "Please don't hurt her!!"..." Just take me instead, I'll give you anything you want!!"... The taxi began to drive away.......I don't think I've EVER been so frightened in my life but again that SOMETHING inside of me had its own agenda....I felt as If something was watching over me........ the guy we had followed here looked up at one of the windows and spoke loudly....." What do you want me to do?".....a man from up in one of the windows yelled down something in a deep Mexican/Spanish voice that was unrecognizable to me...... right then the taxi stopped and turned around and came back to where we were standing...... another man appeared from one of the lobby's in the building and approached Karina... he handed her a small package...... her hair was SO blonde it stood out like it was white.... her face turned bright red....... she got into the taxi shakily and I did the same...... the guy we were with told the taxi driver to head back to the club we had just left...... he told us in a VERY cheery voice......" you two are the luckiest people to ever have visited that part of the Mexican Ghetto.... the man who yelled down had said that he Loved Blonde women and especially one who had the balls to Go out at 1 in the morning to get stoned...... we should have died that night..... and I am POSITIVE that it was because there was a greater force at work that night..... Something was DEFINITELY looking out for us......I could feel it...... anyway, sorry for rambling on.... just wanted you to know...... that I'm a TRUE believer..... Always have been!!....thanx so much for sharing this my friend......ALL STARS....... Lots of Love to you and yours!!...... hugs n Smiles.....T xo.  : )
