I was in a car accident this weekend..I haven't had time to see what's new in the pub.  I promise to catch up on all the great new posts.  This one is  about my experiences on Saturday.....beth


People say that your life flashes
before your eyes when its time to go,
Radiant lights and tranquillity
take over your body’s soul

I remember seeing a brightness
maybe it was that of the sunlight,
glaring his vision of the red;
crashing into me without a fight.

My head was numb from pain
I couldn’t even speak,
I couldn't even move a limb;
My body was much too weak.

The men in blue told me
"Look at your car" they said,
"I’ve never seen a wreck this bad,
"Without the driver being dead."

Who was there watching?
Who pulled me from the wreck?
Why didn’t I go through the windshield?
Why didn’t I break my neck?

What was that light I saw?
Was it really that of the sun’s glare?
Perhaps it was an angelic glow,
For I knew His angels were there.




You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore

Yes, what's already been said above.

The poem is great and has a curious questioning about it I like - I imagine that comes automatically when you experience something traumatic like this - questioning & re-focussing.
Well described...

Allan

Beth dearest; All i could do was thank God that you are all right! This poem is beautiful, and so is your faith! love, Mom

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

So glad you are alright
what a terrible plight

but from the depths of dispair
we find the freshest of air


Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness.
