The pull was strong.
Celestial light enveloped me,
suspending me.
But I couldn’t leave.
As much as we promised,
and wanted to be together forever,
our unborn child deserved life.
I inhaled,
my hand slipped from yours
and the light was gone.

Oh, near death experience. I like…I inhaled and my hand slipped from yours…the best.
Thanks so much. I appreciate that.
Now that’s a maternal sacrifice.
Not quite sure why I went there since I have no children of my own, but it just seemed to work.
Indeed it did work!
🙂
I liked this very much! Loved the same line as LaissezFaire, powerful.
Thanks Joe! I do appreciate that.
An engaging predicament.
It would be a tough call, for sure.
I feel a strong pull from this piece… it has drawn me in and made me a part of it… forevermore.
I liked, “Celestial light enveloped me, suspending me.” Beautiful and tempting.
Thanks very much.
That was so… pow! I don’t have children myself, but just the thought of such a predicament brought a few tears to my eyes.
Thank you for saying so!
