Thank You For Saving Me.

please don't take me, i'm not ready to go. as the light swirls around me, i feel my heart start to slow. it feels like waves crashing on me, sweeping me up, letting me flow. the noise around me starts to fade. the silence cutting like a blade. i realize i'm no longer awake. i hear someone yelling "come back" my body starts to quake. i start to drift again, the peace over coming me. the voice cracks though the silence. i wake in a mountain of debris. peace fades and pain takes over. i'm afraid to open my eyes. afraid of what i'll see. that voice chanting "thank God" brings me back. thank you jesus, for that voice. i'm not sure who's it was, but they saved my life.
