Caught In A Collision
Plastic body torn in bits all over the floor...
The contact is a blur,
Lost in scarred memory,
A maelstrom of light, sounds.
PAIN.
Lost within the beating of a heart,
Fear grips me in its hands and grips tight,
Can't register surroundings, lost, confused,
TERRIFIED.
Hands grasp and pull,
Dragging this shell for a battered soul,
Vision slowly clears, a view of destruction,
Shell-shocked.
Lying on the floor...
I don't know what happened,
Its all flashes, a car crash...
"That was almost me gone then," i think.
Inwardly i weep...

Friends of mine were in a car crash a few days ago....I cant even begin to imagine the pain and terror they went through. But they're all fine now, thank God!
This is a tribute of sorts to them. The best my mind can think up at this moment...
