Bless Your Kind Heart

A year ago,

this day was hot and sunny.

I left the cafe feeling bilious.

I walked home a short way.

I was breathless. 

I went through my front door.

Everything was spinning.

I was trembling, then really shaking. 

I swallowed spoonfuls of organic honey.

It was a birthday gift.

I must unlock the door. 

I must call the ambulance.

Where's my phone?

Was this life gone?

 

Nearly 4 hours later, I was far out,

the summer heat was all around.

I did not move at all.

But, then I saw the light

was a dazzling bright rainbow bridge. 

 

I knew, I too, was across the bed.

Alive, but feeling spaced.

The anaphylactic shock

lifted me into a surreal place. 

 

I kept saying to myself:

 

"Oh thank you God, thank you God

Bless your kind heart.

Bless your kind heart."
