Losing My Aunt

I fall into the darkness. The flames of hell wrap around me. It's hard to breath. The smoke suffocates me. Then I see a hand from above.  I reach for the hand.  I see the light again.   My wings have spread out.  I'm flying and soaring through the skies.  I'm in heaven and I'm happy.  I see her.   It's not your time she says.  I frown, but he hugs me and says, It'll be alright.  So I go back.  I go back to a life wondering.  Will it ever be alright.
