There were voices as I sank
Mumbled voices rippling through the black waters
I’m helpless to do anything as the darkness swallows me up
Depending on air to breath I had no chance of survival
Water filled my nose
My lungs
There was no light
Only darkness escaping from the depths
I lay there motionless
Then
He comes
I had imagined
Him to be a light
So bright you couldn’t see
His features
But instead
He had white robes on
And bare feet
He pressed down on my chest
And filled my lungs with air I stood at the bottom of the
Atlantic Ocean
Unable to speak but alive
I breathed the salty current
I felt the endless waters
It was time to go
And I knew it
I took His hand
And closed my eyes
I woke
I was laying on grass
Crystal flowers around me
Colors you couldn’t imagine
I stood up
And looked around
If you saw what I saw
Would you believe it
No Because you haven’t seen it yet
The weight that pulled me from the back
The softest feathers tickling my arms
Wings
The most marvelous wings
I soared high into the sky
Twirling and spinning
There was nothing to slow me down
The joy
The happiness
That now filled me to the brim
But I looked back
Oh how I wish
I hadn’t looked back
For what I saw brought sadness back into my heart
Like a door opening
With inviting hands
Earth
It’s blue waters
And green land
Now was behind me
Small as it was
Blackness surrounded it
Shrouded it in a thick blanket of dark
