Twin doves: Gemini Energy

Twins

I had a secret wish that I might see my own guardian angel shown to me.

Imagine my surprise to have revealed not one, but two on either side of me.

Was I so wicked that I needed two? So mischievous that one just wouldn’t do?

Or perhaps just luckier than most to have two angels there at my behest.

Though basking in their care was very nice, I realized that two was really twice the care I needed

so could send one away to tend a struggling friend or help an aching heart begin to mend.

So first I sent the angel on the right with messages of courage, love and light to strengthen those souls fighting the good fight.

When it returned, exhausted, then the left was sent to heal the suffering and bereft.

And so by turns my angels fly from me, to minister to every creature’s needs.

I must confess, though, sometimes I don’t share, but hog it all, immersed in double care.

Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury
