A soft whisper was heard
Clinging to the fog covering my eyes
So faint I couldn't make out the words
Soon the veil pulled away so slowly
My eyes drew in the wreckage
The metal and the blood before me
Once again I heard that voice so low
Now upon me, the stranger spoke
'Stay with me, I won't let go'
What were those words to mean
As I lay paralyzed with terror
Still staring upon this horrible scene
My sight again blurry I closed my eyes
Hearing the scurry of footsteps
Each one ending close by my side
I felt a breath settle on my brow
Holding my head in his hands
The stranger, so very clear now
I peeked through the fog before me
To see him as he spoke
'Please help her' he said 'please hurry'
As I gathered each word I gasped
It was me, to whom he referred
Laying on a bed of shattered glass
My body twisted and tortured with pain
My head spinning and hands shaking
He said, 'Can you tell me your name? '
I tried to call out and speak those words
Each one frozen in my throat
Trapped in silence, my crying was unheard
So sudden, the warm sunlight found me
A beautiful light stood ahead
I drifted slowly away so light and free
Torn away too quickly I awoke
Too soon, from my dream of dreams
As my lungs filled with the air I choked
The flash of lights on the horizon
My stranger, my hero, spoke once again
'Today you will live, you must be strong'
With comfort I could finally breathe
Thank God for sending the stranger to me
My heart now slowing and I, at peace
