The Stranger

Take my hand he said
Come with me to your destiny
Not knowing and unsure
I took his hand and we walked.
We walked through fields of yellow
And green,where birds lived
Small creatures crept about unseen.
Loving this place,I wanted to stay
It was so easy and free
Surely this is where I longed to be
It had to be my destiny.

But as quickly as the sun glowed
We embarked on a world so cold
The stench of death choked me
I struggled to find light
He gripped harder as he spoke to me
We're almost there he said
I tried to fathom what lay ahead
Was my life ending?
Or just beginning...I crammed my
Mind with thoughts of doom
I didn't know this man
Maybe he was an angel I assumed

Just ahead was a cliff
This was the end
He pulled me closer as I screamed
I awoke thankful it was only a dream.
Unable to move and could not see
The man was back, sitting on top of me
He was faceless and strong
Relentlessly holding me down
With hands resembling stone
I struggled to break free
Suddenly he disappeared,
Falling into me, with a screeching
Noise so deafening in my ear.
Shaken but alert I caught my wind
I wondered where this thing could be
Then I realized He was my spirit
Struggling to return to me.
