Janet Eaton Poet I do not know?

My Angel of Life

Not so many years ago, as I lay curled in my sheets
Drifting to that pleasant place, when you are really not asleep
I felt a movement in my bed as if a presence did creep
Wondering what it was, but awake I could not reach
Then this presence held me up, and in their arms, wrapped me so complete.
Remembering that feeling and how it felt so sweet.
The next thing I remember is another presence there
Squeezing tight upon my chest and taking me somewhere.
I couldn’t breath, I couldn’t scream, I couldn’t even fight
The pain wrenching through my body causing him delight.
And then the fight was over and as the dark presence left
I felt my angel release me, touching softly on my head
Leaning over to whisper, everything will be alright.
The angel of life saved me on that oh so scary night.

Laura Leiser February 15, 2015 at 6:29 PM Wow, this is very powerful, Janet. I do believe in guardian angels, and I was saved by one once when I was young (another story) but I'm grateful you were saved by this intervention. Praise God! Janet Eaton February 15, 2015 at 9:49 PM Thank you Laura there are angels everywhere If you ever want to tell your story I would love to hear it

Justin Bordner February 14, 2015 at 3:17 PM Sleep paralysis...along withe near death and out of body experiences are often the result of psychic revelation and or warfare for your soul Janet. Your Angel bestowed two gifts unto you, one of protection, and the other of enlightenment. I admire your experience, you have something the Angel wants as well:) J.A.B.
