Brigitte Pace Poet Monorhyme

When My Plane Went Down To Drown

Bubbles rose from my mouth
I was underwater, I wanted to shout
Lifeless bodies floated past me
Gutted, I realized that I was in the sea
I struggled to get the seat belt off me
And swam up to the surface where metal and smoke 
Made my lungs burn and I choked
Flames rose in the air
Bodies charred everywhere
I closed my eyes and said a prayer
I would not give in to this burning slayer
I was desperate to survive
I was still alive
Helicopter blades hovered in the sky
I waved my arms and began to cry
The helicopter was moving away
I was going to die, I had no say
A rope ladder dangled from above
I saw my rescuers faces filled with love
And then the strangest sight 
A white dove flapping its wings in a shining light
I felt at peace and closed my eyes
And when I opened them, I saw the sunrise

Shirley Hudson June 22, 2022 at 1:39 PM WOW. I have goose bumps all over. That was a great poem I loved it. It grabs you from the beginning hearing every word every emotion scorch thru your veins, gripping onto the arms of the chair just praying she gets rescued. Ya that and so much more.
