I met an angel once when I was twelve
she told to keep living...
to just be myself.
I met her one morning...
it was raining that day.
I remember it was the month of May
I was late for the bus that was across the street
if I missed it my mom would yell
n' hearing her scream felt like hell.
Against a red light
without looking twice
I ran across with all my might..
it was in that moment
I rushed toward a death
not knowing I'd take in my final breath
I felt the cold metal strike my bones...
I saw beautiful images flashing inside my head
like colorful slides ...
or, perhaps moving pictures instead.
I heard people screaming
I heard them shout..
right before I blacked out
my soul began to take a flight
an energetic tunnel ...
(a kinetic pull)
a spinning funnel.
I felt warmly bathed in mystical light
that seemed to glow incredibly bright
I saw an angel hovering above
she whispered ...
"hold on tight...don't let go...
there's so much left to do
with all the people
you're to know"
I floated up high...so high
pushing toward heaven past the sky...
I could see my my body down below
The angel spread her golden wings
n' she began to sing ...
"Life is about all the joy, and love you can bring"
with that she flew away
n' when life gets hard, or seems too tough...
and I feel like I've had enough
(her words echo to this day)
I remember the message the angel told me that day.
