Resurrection (VI)

 The Shay Saga - Part VI

I am become Death. As a former addict, I am well aware when I am immunocompromised. The systems going offline, so to speak. Kidneys shut down and the body expelling all the toxicity I've accumulated over the years. My body, mind and spirit needed a hard reset. Getting to and staying on my feet was an impossible task. The pain was familiar but something new entirely...

But when she was near me..... 

I began to regain my strength. I felt my heart beat faster. I noticed my soul sensed it's purpose. I am becoming the Resurrection. What once was the feeling of Death coming near had become the strength I needed to push on with a message from Her that simply stated "Knock knock" because she was at the front door. Just Her presence alone was enough to make me feel so much better, but it was Her touch that made me feel brand new. It was Her scent that allowed me to regain my footing. And yet, it was Her eyes that gave me the focus to do everything that I couldn't do moments before...  

I had become Death but She has become my Life.
