Encounter With The Unkown
In the comfort of home, as dinner I ate, my dog barked and growled so clearly.
But then, a presence, unknown and strong, Pinned me down, in darkness, where I did not belong.
I found myself in a tunnel of light, With lights flashing, a vision unclear, a mysterious sight.
An entity spoke, its voice cold and dread, Said I should be dead, but I shook my head.
"No, I say, no," casting the darkness out," Denying the fate that would mean my death.
With a final gasp, the entity relented, Releasing me from the grip it had invented.
In that moment of fear and unknown power, I found the strength to resist and to cower.
A whisper of mortality, a glimpse of the divine, In this strange encounter, I remain, in awe of that unseen face.
