On the night
Everything seemed so wrong
I couldn't imagine what I saw
A burning light
Of blue florescence
The blood was gone
I could tell
Yet the light
Had blinded me
Only for the moment
Just then
I saw something
A flash, or perhaps shine
From something metal
No
It was a person, a girl
Her locket around her neck
She looked at me
Her brown eyes
Shined in midnight's moon
Black hair
Long and curled
Flowed in the wind
Reaching her knees
A dark dress
That twirled
As she stepped forward
She was older
I could tell
But seemed so young
She came to me
Majestic
Yet very sad
My fright grew
But it left with the seconds
She had stopped in front of me
She smiled as if she knew
What had happened
Only minutes before
As if she had known all her life
This would have happened
Her eyes shimmered
Trying for comfort
In this time of sorrow
She touched my hand
When tears passed by
She sang to me
A voice so pure
So gentle in the wind
It would put
A crying baby to sleep
So the tears had stopped
For now
She held me close to her
Wiping away the tears that fell
Her hands were gentle
Cold but calm
She sang of rain
That very night
And told me of the storm that came
And the promise of tomorrow
My eyes grew heavy
And my head fell drowsy
In a deep sleep I went
Her soft singing
Still echoed through my dreams
Chorused by the rain
I did not know this woman
But I felt secure
As if, somehow
I had known her in a different life
A different time
Before they died
She told me nothing of who she was
Nothing of what she was
But, I knew
She was something,
Someone magical
From somewhere distant
She saved my life
That I know of
How, I do not
I will remember her forever, though
And the feeling
I will too
The feeling of being
Safe in a stranger's arms
