The Invasion P3

I awoke just as the ship exited the black hole My mouth was dry, and the yearning for my love ones revisited my sole Something moved, I saw it in my peripheral view It was as big as a football, smooth, but my vision was still askew I think it was the movement of my eyes that caused it to silently dart and hover over me It was made of the same substance, like the spaceships we did see Then a long needle came out of it and it slowly penetrated the iris of my eye My mouth seemed to open as if to scream but nothing can out just a pain and a feeling I was going to die I felt the pain and heard a cracking sound as it passed through the retina, then... nothing, no pain I think it may have entered into my brain Some how it accessed my memories and began deleting the feeling attached to my past life I fought and managed to blocked its intrusion into my thoughts of sons and my wife All the people I met in my life, all gone Except three, and no matter how much it scrambled my brain searching, it found “Just a closer walk with thee” song After what seemed forever it removed its lance from my eye The sense of not having pain for those people was a relief but why? I felt the wanting again for those three it could not find Of my sons and my wife I had so cunningly concealed in my mind I felt myself been rotated, facing down, looking through the ship at a huge Earth like world Then everything blurred and swirled. I woke up laying on soft lawn The sun was rising, the beginning of a new dawn There were thousands of people asleep on the ground I ran checking each one for those I loved, like a bloodhound There they were, we all made it, and were back together again I hugged them and cried with no heart ache or pain I looked up from this new earth and thanked God in the new heavens above Then it dawned on me... Each person I looked at I felt a strong sense of brotherly and sisterly love Those Creatures were not invading our planet for all its worth They were there to take us and give us a new beginning in a new Earth. The destruction of man was inevitable and over due And they were watching and waiting and some how they knew...
