With fervor, that angel came after me, he chased me with such urgency!
I was afraid, sorely afraid, because I could not tell what it was!
Batman? A man-bat? I could not discern, and I ran as fast as I could.
My long, lanky legs took me over fences, walls, under bridges
Behind the middle house in the cul de sac at the end of Cameron Drive.
I didn’t see that wretched root, as I scaled the 4 foot white picket fence.
I fell, face planted more like it! I didn’t hear the “snap”, I didn’t feel it!
The adrenaline coursing my veins, my fright and flight response!
The screamed in unison, “Get up you ass, run! run!” and I tried.
But I fell again. Disabled, nowhere to run, I postured to defend!
But he saw that I was hurt, damaged, and he looked at me.
His eyes stripped me to the core of my soul, but not with judgment.
But with knowing and understanding. My eyes met his, without fear.
I too understood and I surrendered, I needed him, to fix me, heal me.
In that speechless moment, I had no choice but to trust him.
He tended to my wounds, defiant in silence, that lack of spoken word.
But that would soon end, for once he healed me, he spoke.
His voice resonated with in my heart, it rumbled like thunder,
Yet, it was clear and crisp, cool as resplendent water flowing wistfully in a meadow brook.
He spoke of my life, and the directions I must choose.
My power is absolutely the power of choice!
Fear is my disability, if I choose to let it rule my choices, and I don’t.
He asked, what would you do if you were not afraid?
I would never fail! I would be excellent! I would conquer all obstacles.
