Suddenly Released

by Sarah Tait   Jun 21, 2008


I am suffocating.
I cannot breathe.
I don't know what to do,
no one's here with me.

The doors are jammed.
My heart feels like,
it's in my hand
being strangled of all its precious life.
Death is near
yet i don't want to fight.

A feeling engulfs me.
A sense of calm.
I shouldn't fight,
there is no alarm.

The water is entering
with immense speed.
My head is immersed
and my eyes start to freeze.

What's strange is that
as i rise into the sky
i see a vision.
It makes me cry.

I see me
on the ground below,
only a child.
Young and free,
i still remember the scabby knees.

Looking down
over fields of gold.
Summer days
that never got old.

I suddenly feel
beatific peace.
I feel like an angel
suddenly released.
