As I glanced around
all I saw was the deep,
terrified something would
come from up under.
I never knew something
could both be beautiful
and terrifying at the same
time.
My heart pounding
within my
cold damp self.
Across the deep,
I saw a dock with feet,
l saw the worry in
their eyes, they wanted
to save me, but time
was running out.
It felt as if a person
was on top of me
forcefully pushing
me down, or as if a
heavy object were
strapped to
my back.
I begged for help,
all I wanted was out.
I grew weak.
Soon no words could
escape my wet lips,
my hands trembling,
desperate for air,
now it felt as if I
were being strangled!
Then it is almost
as if everything froze.
For I felt no more.
No worry, fear
or anxiety, but
peace.
I surrendered,
allowing the
deep blue to
take me
away.
My final
destination
reassured me,
I knew I would
meet Him and
that everything
would be okay.
This was inspired by a dream and COVID-19. A lot like in my dream, many might feel as if they are drowning. They wonder if they can be helped before it is too late. Scared to never see loved ones again. Wondering where they will go when they die? People for the first time are experiencing intense emotions they have never felt before. They do not know how to express or comprehend. This pandemic has forced all to revisit the thought of death. Everyone is going to die at some point. When I refer to, “I knew I’d meet Him and I felt peace,” I am referring to my personal beliefs. As a Christian, I am not scared of death. I know I will live with Christ my Savior forever.
