"Death came to me today�" (Version 1)

A different perspective on the same incident as "version 2)

 

"Death came to me today…"

 

 

It was hard to tell

with the water draining down

through the ice clotting clumps in my hair

to where my dog, Nepauset, was licking my face,

but as I hugged her tightly to me

I did cry…I cried like the day that I was born.

 

 

I am man enough to admit it.

 

 

I knelt there and prayed aloud

through our

hypothermic seizures

in jubilant Thanksgiving~

 

 

Only through God’s benevolent Grace are we Alive!

 

 

Baptized and Reborn

in the waters

from the Well of Urdr.

 

 

Death came to me today with her raw frigid embrace

She did not want me yet…

She only had messages to relay,

so I have much to do still

before I finally

meet my fate…

i have to say i was blown away by the sincere depth portrayed with convincing conviction,
I love this writing, i think your words speak to the readers heart in general, and delivered with a
meaning that when pondered have a humbling, encouraging effect, falling through the ice and living
to tell about it, the imagery is captivating, and effective, the graphic added nicely, artistically
enhanced with the colorful form, the line"death came to me today" encapsulates the essence.

The pictures add to those chilling (nopun intended)words. Facing such an ordeal like that must be scary

[Siddartha Beth Pierce]

Another beautiful work, I read the second before this one. It is a wonder you both made it through such an ordeal and blessings to you both. I hope you are warm now. This is a wonderful poem. Thank you.
