Bethany
He awoke with a start
His ears ringing
His eyes sealed shut from sleep
His heart beating loudly
His mind heavy, slow, and thick
The edges of a vivid dream
Rabidly disappearing
From mind and memory
So vivid the dream
Gone now
Surrounded by souls
He was
Many dark and turned inward
Some turned out radiating
Internal light
Into the darkness
Shaking
He breathed in
Deeply
A lungful of cold air
Filled with
The fragrances of earth
Moisture
Mold
He stirred now
Filled with an urgency
Of mind
Of emotions
Of will
Still in darkness
He swung from the bed
And stood
The knowledge coming
To him
As his mind cleared
And he stepped
Carefully
Unsteadily
Toward the open door
Before him
It was time
To start
Another phase
Another beginning
Another deep breath
Another new day
Another life
Another name
Another step
Into the
Light of the Son
For whom he loved
And who love him
Was waiting outside
With arms held wide
Calling him softly
One more time.
Lazarus come forth!
