I created this poem on the morning of September 21, 2017. On Friday September 22, 2017. I was at work that day. I needed to ask a question of a fellow worker. I approached him while he was watching a youtube video about a boxer who hit the canvas a beam of light came through sky light and focused on the boxer. the referee gave the ten count the light went away they checked the boxer he was dead. I simply had to find out more of this event. this is what I found.  

LUTHER MCCARTY- WIKIPEDIA

On May 24,1913 Luther McCarty  a 21 year old hevy weight contender took on a exhibition fight to help raise money for a church bell. The preacher said " I know you men are going to help buy a bell for our church. your silver tokens will buy a momento for God's house and it will be a credit to you on the great ledger. Everyone must have credit in his ledger, for who knows whom the Great Referee will call home at any minute.

The mystery continues, I wrote the poem two days before after having a vision or dream. I was poised to title it sleep walking. most people see somthing that inspires a poem. It seems I had a dream that inspired a research. or was this a paranormal phenomenon.

ENJOY THIS WEEKS POEM,

MAY THE LORD ALWAYS BE BY YOUR SIDE.

Michael E. Harris

AT THREE TEN AM I GOT OUT OF BED. I RUBBED MY EYES AND SHOOK MY HEAD. I WENT TO THE KITCHEN TO QUENCH MY THIRST. ON MY WAY THERE I STRUCK BY A BURST. IT CAME RIGHT THROUGH THE ROOF AND FOCUSED ON ME. IT TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS. BUT I FINALLY BROKE FREE. I'M COMPLETELY AWAKE, NOW AT THIS TIME. AND YES I WAS, BLOWN RIGHT OUT OF MY MIND. MY HART WAS POUNDING, BUT THAT DIDN'T MATTER. MY QUEST FOR SOME WATER, HAS COMPLETELY BEEN SHATTERED. BUT MY CURIOSITY GOT THE BEST OF ME. I WASN'T SURE I SEE WHAT I SEE. I TOOK A STEP FORWARD AND ENTERED THE BEAM. IT SEEMED I WAS FLOATING IN SOME KIND OF DREAM. IT'S SOME KIND OF BEAM, BUT, INSIDE IT SEEMS TWISTED. I LOOKED ALL AROUND BUT NO INSTRUCTIONS WERE LISTED. ONE HOUR LATER I WOKE ON UP THE FLOOR, WHEN I THOUGHT I HEARING A KNOCK AT THE DOOR.
