SALVATIONI look up into the heavens and see its dark presence circle above me. Fear rushes through icy veins as I admire its beauty. It screams. I feel the rushing of air around me as it quickly descends upon me. Quickly, I close my eyes. Pain! Sweet liberating pain is its first gift as the talons tear into me. I feel its need for me as mighty wings envelop me. I open my eyes to see it spread its wings to take flight back into the heavens. With a single thrust, we are uplifted into the air. Its talons dig deeper and I feel as if we are joined as one. One flesh...one need...one purpose. I look down at the life I am leaving behind. I see the filth below and notice its beauty from the sky. I can now understand why these creatures live amongst the clouds. I feel alive for the first time in my life. The cool air taste so sweet. The warmth of my blood is soothing as it covers my flesh. As my eyes start to grow dark, I look up into my savior's eyes in gratitude for giving me what I have always searched for. Peace. Copyright 1997 Dvs |
