Falling
Looking far out into the dreamless sunset thinking of what could happen. Taking one step in front of the other. But then I stopped dead in my tracks and turned around to see nothing but darkness. I could see a faint outline of a person, but who could that person be? Before I knew it my foot had slipped off and I began to slowly fall. I shut my eyes to not see what awaited me. Something felt warm so I opened my eyes. And there in front of me was that person holding on to my hand with all of his might. As I looked up I asked, “Why would you save me?” He spoke softly, “I am here to protect you.” His voice sounds so kind and warming like I knew him. He spoke again, “I will protect you. I am the one who will catch you when you are falling and never let go.” He pulled me up and embraced me. I am right where I belong.
