I had come
for him, but she saw me first
Annoyed at
myself, I audibly cursed
She said, “What
in the hell are you doing
Sneaking
around our home while we’re sleeping?”
I pointed to
her form, still deep asleep
“Because you’re
very evolved, you see me
I’m a gate
guide, but I’ve not come for you
It’s his
time and I’ve come to guide him through”
She looked
at her partner then back at me
“I know that
is true, but I’m not ready
I don’t know
if I know what I should do
With the
challenge I’m about to go through”
I smiled,
gathered her in a deep embrace
Then
whispered, “You’ll grow with what you’ll soon face
Though you
likely won’t recall what you see
Let your
feelings calm your anxiety
“Now, quiet
yourself, move deeper inside
While I take
you on a spiritual ride”
I waited,
holding this high vibration
Rejoiced,
when she reached this elevation
A much wiser
version of her appeared
The same one
that, before there, had lived here
She
recognized me, our lights intertwined
We lingered
for a period of time
She pulled
back, “I know my life is written
And complete
revelation is forbidden,
But I’m sure
I left a loophole or two
To see a
hint of what I’ll soon go through”
I
acknowledged she understood it right
It’s why, I
now see, we’re here in the light
I’ve never
assisted a life preview
But Spirit
said, “This is what you must do”
She waited,
knowing her recollection
Would appear
an encoded edition
I revised
the thought I whispered before,
“Let how you
feel be your indicator”
I showed an
old friend she’s known a long time
Wanting to help
and be part of her life
To his
dismay, she ventures out, alone
Wanting,
needing to do this on her own
Navigating
through unexpected grief,
Comprehending
this new reality
Becomes an
incredible weight to bear
But she must
push forward, move on from there
She learns
to seek guidance, which way to go
Venturing,
bravely, into the unknown
She’ll
arrive in places she’s known before
They’ll invite
her to visit them once more
Ah, but this
time, she’ll have much wiser eyes
See other
options she’s not realized
When her
journey leads her back to her friend,
She realizes
her choice was always him
I watched
her light as I closed the preview
She turned
toward me with sadness, “Thank you
I’ve seen my
life is about to suck ass
But later, I
find happiness at last
“This
feeling I have, please let me retain
To help me
stay strong when my belief wanes”
I replied, “Here’s
what I’ll promise to you
It will
wait, write it down to refer to”
She understood
then said she was ready
To return,
next to him, in her body
As we
approached, we noticed something strange
Her partner
had just witnessed our exchange
There was
nothing but love, that he conveyed
As he, too,
saw the preview as it played
“Without me,
you’ll be allowed to strengthen
Then you’re
potential will start flooding in”
There was a
sweetness as they said good-bye
Before his
transition into the light
He said, “For
this life we’ve shared, I thank you
Everything
strengthened me that we went through”
This next
part, for me, has always been hard
Telling them
it was time for them to part
The three of
us shifted into her dream
She remained
while he departed with me
She watched us
as we faded out of sight
Though
heartbroken now, she would be alright
She woke
from her sleep, his body was dead
Crying, she
tried to recall what we’d said
