Poem
Last night, after I was struck under the ground, and did not, could not get up; I met one of the most beautiful of all beings that God could ever create; an Arch Angel… Her robes of black night sky and six wings of silver holy starlight wrapped around me, and I felt the cool sensation of her hands on my face; like a cool babbling brook. The dark blue sapphires that sat in her skull shone as she stared at me with her loving expression. Her silvery tresses fell around me, and they smelled sweet, of milk and honey. She smelled of the Holy land; she was surely an angel from heaven, sent to bring me home. She then spoke to me, and her voice was like a sweet and warm whisper floating on a soft summer breeze. I felt her intertwine her fingers with mine, and she spread her six wings, and she pulled me from my grave, and she said, “Join me, come home, good soldier.” I felt myself turn into a feather; weightless, and light. I had once been so cold, and then I felt warm again. As I rose, I saw similar robes that the woman was wearing wrap around me and melt away the clothes that I was buried in. I felt my two smaller wings, incomparable to hers, spread and I flew with her, to the beautiful gates of gold that lead to my final destination and home. When I approached the gates, I heard the voice of a fatherly man say, “Welcome home, my true and faithful servant.” I then lifted my foot and began on my way though the gates of gold… But then everything took a turn for the worst, and there was a weight on my ankles. A tight grip that seemed to tug at first, but then I was yanked, and I fell. I fell so fast that the beautiful angel couldn’t save me in time. Nor could the fatherly voice could reach me in time. I saw the beautiful paradise in front of me be yanked away, and vanish along with the angel and the voice that spoke so kindly to me. I knew in that instant that I fell, that I would never be able to go back. I felt the mussels of my new wings tear and the bones shattering, breaking from the shear force of my weight from trying to catch me in the wind. My new garments were torn away and left I was left naked. My new hair was tattered and was blotched with the black of the night and the white of what the angel had given me. It seemed like I had fallen for hours, and I heard a whisper… Of a child perhaps… That said… “Oh! A falling star! Make a wish!”
