Silent Warrior

As I stand alone and watch

Your all around them protecting them from harm

Their Guardian Angel

Sword blazing light

Fighting against their demons

Never wavering as another joins the fight

With cat like grace

You move with the confidence of a dancer

Easily slaying those soul destroyers

this sounds like a hero protecting shildren from the ghosts of nightmares, it's satisfying to read, but there's one thing, and i'm not sure if it's intentional or not: lack of punctuation. 
 
It's something i get grief for alot, and i often do it intentionally, but sometimes i forget about it, so i just thought i'd make you aware! 
 
hope this helps

1. You're, not your 
2. Comma after "You're all around them" line 2? 
3. line 4 - "Sword (,) blazing light" 
4. Cat-like, not cat like 
 
in other words, a bit frystrated by lack of punctuation, ditto to last review. 
 
Anyway... metaphor of the "Silent Warrior" as a dancer is a powerful one... I like the way you used that imagery. The last line, however, loses the quality of grace about it - it goes from an angelic, light-emitting dancer guardian to a seemingly pompous and arrogant statement: Easily slaying those soul destroyers. You might want to reconsider that last line.  
:sigh 
 
Regardless, good ideas, good imagery. I'd like to see more.
