THAT NIGHT I LOST MY LIFE

It came to fluision, that night in December

that destiny indeed made no mistakes

the snow storm was so deep, so cold

but the creek, to my surprise didn't freeze over

As careful as I was, apparently I drove

my car across that unstable ice

the ice began to crack, before I could even gasp

the car quickly started sinking fast

It was at that moment, my life seemed to flash

right before my very tightly clenched eyes

the cold water and cold air, placed my body in shock

no way was I going to escape that one alive

I began to lose consciousness, fading in a bad way

I prayed to the heaven's above to spare me once more

I used what energy I had left to kick and punch the glass

yet my oxygen level had apparently been all consumed

Once my eyes closed, my ears closed, no sound or sight

just a very percular and intense bright light

then that light started to flicker, I was a gonner I figured

cause my chest no longer thumped, blood no longer pumped

I remember floating carelessly, arms dangling so were my feet

the cold air, somehow I still felt very brutally

all the while I saw images, no sound, more like premonitions

of an Angellic figure taking me by the hand

As hard as it was to tell her no, and pull away from this figure

part of me wanted to go, it began to get peaceful

I began to feel a calm upon me, one that I've never known

serene, unexplicably restful

just when I conceded and threw in the towel

a bolt of electricity ran through my soul

the blinding bright light returned to my vision

and immediately I was revisited by the extreme cold

I blinked my eyes a few times, trying to visualize it all

what happened to the calm I felt, just a few minutes ago

the pain was intense, that's when it set in, that I was breathing again

somehow I had life, restored to my body, trying to see what happened

It was then that I heard the distinctive sirens, somehow I may be saved

but how did I get from the bottom of the creek to the back of the ambulance

I looked to my left and there you were, crying holding my hand

telling me that it would be ok, trying to help me understand

That's when the EMT looked at me and said, You've got a wonderful woman

by the time we got to the scene, she had already pulled you up from under

then the EMT said the craziest thing, when he noticed your shoes were dry

he told me from a distance he saw you carrying me across the ice

But as he got closer, he started to notice that the creek was no longer frozen

he looked me in the face, and said, "That lady was walking on top of the water"

My Angel, I've referred to you for as long as I can remember

yet on this night, you truly revealed your wings

you looked at that man and responded by saying why do you say silly things?

You claim that you never walked on water then sternly looked into his eyes

with a calm sweet voice, you said to him

"Sweetie, I have wings, I can Fly"
