Melissa Enslin Poet I do not know?

An Unexpected Expadition

IT WAS A NIGHT FULL OF EXCITEMENT,
JOY, FUN AND LAUGHTER

FRIENDLY FACES GREETED US
AND THE SMILES WERE ENDLESS
WITHOUT US KNOWING
SOMEONE WAS WATCHING OVER US…

AFTER A NIGHT TO REMEMBER – 
THAT SOMEONE TOOK US ON AN EXPADITION…

IT WAS COLD 
AND THE ROAD WAS WET
OUR EXPADITION TURNED
OUT TO BE VERY JOLTING…

ALL OF A SUDDEN…
WE SAW IT COMING TOWARDS US
OUR MINDS HAD A GLIMPSE 
OF NEAR DEATH

WE HEARD SCREECING BREAKS, WINDOWS BREAKING
AND THE SOUND OF … FEAR, SHOCK
AND DISSOLUTION
IT WAS LIKE THE SOUND OF WAR

WE SWERVED OUT, DODGING THE
PIECES OF CONCRETE 

WITH MY PULSE RAISING AND
MY HEART THOBING I CAME
TO REALIZE THAT I HAD TO 
CHEACK IF THERE WERE NO
CRITICAL INJURED PEOPLE

MY BODY WAS FROZEN BUT MY MIND 
STAYED CLEAR
WE HELPED THE DRIVER TO STAY 
CALM UNTILL THE AMBULANCE ARRIVED

AFTER THAT WE CONTINUED
OUR JOURNY BACK TO OUR DESTANATION
BUT OUR EXCITEMENT TURNED INTO SHOCK, 
OUR JOY INTO SADNESS, OUR FUN SPOILED 
AND SILENCE TOOK AWAY 
OUR LAUGHTER

WE CAME TO REALIZE THAT 
GOD WAS THE ONE WATCHING 
OVER US AND THAT OUR LIVES
WERE SPARED

HE TOOK US ON AN EXPADITION NEVER TO BE 
FORGOTTEN BUT KNOWING 
THAT HE IS ALWAYS WITH  
US KEEPING US SAFE FROM
UNEXPECTED EXPADITIONS
