45. Michael and Gabriel

I move from my bed and out onto the road
where mist and fog envelope and hug me
It's light and it's warm as though in a cloud
but my lower back's nudged to be wary and guarded

I turn and I see coming towards me
a skeleton running with black knife in hand
but I simply stand in love and in oneness
while it continues to come - picking up speed

The knife is raised and comes straight down on me
in a flash I am moved to a different scene
Im handed a knife in a cooking show
and start slicing vegetables on top of a board

I wake and I'm angry and swear at the World
At how love failed me and my oneness also
Granted my Guides stepped in and saved me
but almost at the cost of losing my life

"You didn't teach me that or things like defence?!"
and instantly sleeping I wake once again
I'm now in a gym with boxing bag near
but my anger is boundless and I'm asking for more!

Then in they both come - a white guy and black
menacing, muscled and tall as they come
Unfortunately, as my anger subsides
it's replaced with a coyness making Gabriel smile

"Enough of that now - it's time to begin"
says Michael as he moves right in between us
"Let's begin" he says as he takes his shirt off
and I grab a big stick and run at him hard

But they both laugh at my mortal attempt
of closing the distance between me and it
We're now in a World of a different kind
where physical hits can never be felt

This is a World of striking with magic
of pointing the bone, and chanting with words
Of focusing mind and the gut as my amo
'Win gardium levy osa' I hear myself say?!

Michael is struck -and dazed on the spot
from the finger I pointed and my Harry Potter spell
"Um, yeah that'll work" Gabriel says
but I'm urged to keep going and practice some more

"You're a girl!" I say and he's wounded again
and Gabriel's laughing and shrinking away
Afternoon comes and instruction ends
from two really cool guys who came to my aid

Awake in my bed as I opened my eyes
I wondered just who these two fullas were
It wasn't till talking with a good friend
I'd found I'd been taught by the Angels themselves....
