Death At The Beach

It was a sunny day
i ran then tripped
and fell
next thing i was surrounded by water
I felt a tightness in my chest
then i saw a light
i asked myself
is that the light that will bring me death
and take me to heaven
next i felt something
it was a hand
but was it the hand of god
but no it was not
next thing i knew
i was lying on the floor
I wondered if i had died that day
would it hurt to die
or
will it feel like a deep sleep.
