• The water fills my lungs. I struggle. Trying to win a winless battle.
    My body sinks lower. The water pulling at my body,
    dragging me lover into my watery grave.

    I can feel my life slipping away from me,
    Just as easy as the water slips through my fingers.
    I know this battle is lost.
    I let my last breath leave me and allow
    My body to sink.

    Soon I feel a jolt go through me
    As my spirit is dragged out of my lifeless body.
    I crash through the waves
    And expect to feel the blowing winds of the storm
    That caused my untimely death.

    But I feel nothing.
    Just like the suffocating atmosphere of the water
    Yet with out the pain.

    Wings have sprouted on my back.
    The same black as the waters that sucked the life out of me.
    Allowing me to hover the choppy waters of my grave.

    I find myself dancing over the waters.
    If people could see me now,
    They would see a dancing young girl
    So sad that her life had been cut short.
    Yet surprisingly happy to be out of that life.

    Soon another angel appears on the other side of the waters.
    I stop dancing and look at her.
    She is calling me to her with out her lips ever moving.
    My feet move on there own towards her.
    Her warm smile beckons me.

    I cross the waters gracefully to her side.
    The angel takes my hand and flies into the air.
    She leads me towards a bright light.
    Blinding me as we fly near it.

    I stop.
    Finding that I cant go any farther.
    The angel turns to look at me her eyes full of confusion, pain and sorrow.
    She lets go of my hand and continues
    to move backwards into the light.
    Her arms outstretched to me, begging me to go with her.

    I watch her in till she disappears into the light and the light vanishes with the angel.
    I turn back to the icy waters where my body lay at the bottom and start to dance again.

    Maybe one day the angel might return
    And maybe then I will be ready to go into the light with her.
    But until then I will continue my sad eternal dance.
