Come on they said they are waiting for you . So I followed the children, unsure of anything at all. I could not remember where I had come from , what my name was or if anyone had come with me. The children seemed to know exactly where they were going , which was certainly more than I did.
We followed a long corridor, dark and metallic . There where bright blue lights in the ceiling which gave the place a clinical look.
I kept close behind the children as I did not want to get lost in this vast and endless place . All was dark and cold and totally deserted. The sound of our footsteps echoed loudly as we traveled along this vast hallway.
After what seemed like hours the children stopped and told me to wait. Doing as I was told I watched them walk to a opening in the wall and disappear. I thought maybe that they had deserted me but after a few minutes they returned carrying a cup of hot strong coffee and dish of what looked like fruit but fruit I had never seen before!
I was grateful for the coffee and we sat on the floor of this hallway . I was surprised at how comfortable the floor was as it it look like cold hard metal. As we rested the children encouraged me to try the fruit, I did but not until they had eaten some first. I might be lost, confused and loosing my memory but I still had some faculties left, and self preservation was one of those!
After a while the children asked me if I was ready to continue, I was. So we moved on after the children had returned my cup and plate…..I don’t really know what they did with them but they were gone! The children chatted away to each other but I really couldn’t understand what they were saying but I did hear the word pilot and ship mentioned more than once.
Just before the end of the hallway we turned left and there in front of me was a huge hanger, full of people working and strange planes… were they planes they were not like the planes I knew.
I went to walk in but the children stopped me , “Careful” they cautioned, “There is a force field there” they said. A what , what is a force field. Push that button they said!
And so I did!
To be continued…….

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.
