DON'T BE ALARMED
I felt
the sound crash against the side of my head, bringing me up through
levels of consciousness to a point just before awareness. I was confused
and couldn't remember what was real and what was not. "Oh no, not
again," I thought, as my mind shifted through a groggy haze, trying to
focus on the meaning. Something perched near by and if I opened my eyes I
would see the ominous stare from its glowing red eyes. I was not ready
for this showdown only because I knew what it would bring. A memory
lingered on the edge for a moment then slowly melted away, as I began to
drift toward oblivion. Just before I turned my mind switch to off, I
caught a fleeting glimpse that blazed with bright colors and I knew what
I feared the most. It waited in a dark place and it was not a friend of
mine, never will be, not forever in this life time!
When the
second wave sounded, I was not prepared for the impact of the meaning. I
felt warm and safe in the place that I was, a womb from which birth
could take place at anytime, and I would not be robbed of my time here! I
did not want to be plucked from this non-emotional existence. In spite
of my resistance, it screamed obscenities at me and I could taste the
vile sound it produced. I knew it was going to win, again, and there was
nothing I could do. I felt like a helpless beggar asking for a handout.
"Got a dime, just a dime? Can you give me ten? Just ten more? Just ten
more minutes?"
