In My Words

Someday, I will tell my story.

Someday,
it will be known, in my words —

how I saw he who left this Earth seconds before the doorway grew bright and angels dressed in white came and blinded me as mind cut to the next scene:
a sunny day with an upside ’cause the jet came by and we pointed to the sky, white wisps of wonder in my eyes as I stared at the cloud-like, dreamlike existence of what was unbeknownst to me, in the sky and that I will never reach in my lifetime.

Until then, words will be words.
