Promising God

So damn scared On that ledge Jagged rocks Flared nostrils Heart pumping Like damn hell Mind stopping Praying to God Knees shaking Vibrating Body dead Mind frozen God I'm scared Can't damn move Precipice Road to hell Can't die now Way too young I speak now With One God Make promise Spread His Word If He spares My life now Like before Word of God On my lips In your heart In 1978, I was trapped on a cliff in San Diego. Complete strangers felt helpless re: my dilemma. They wanted to call the fire department. I asked them to hold on for a few minutes. I knew that if I made just one slight error, I would fall to my death. I prayed harder than ever in my life. I promised God that I would spread His Word if He kept me alive. He sent The Holy Spirit to guide me to safety. I've never broken my promise. My most efficient and effective way to spread His Word is through my spiritual poetry.
