I didn't realize
What had occurred
A shock wave coursed
Through my body
I caught myself from falling
Backwards
My hands grasping
A giant concrete pylon
For safety
My breath had deteriorated
I gasped in horror
And looked out upon
The giant crowd
Holding lighters for a moment
Of silence
The dead spoke so loudly
That night
Tears fell from my eyes
My feet began walking clumsily
Out of the arena
A concert I had waited for
With excitement diminished
He was now my guardian angel
I hold tight to you my dear
I write with you
I lead you where you've never been
I play your favorite song
When you need me
I remind you never to give up
You rescued me from purgatory
Because of you
I've watched over my loved ones
A gift I have always cherished
And every time you say,
"Thank you Michael."
I remember why I chose
Your precious soul © 10.17.21
