Christian Poetry -34

Toto, Too

Soundless and invisible,
You pounced
Seized me in jagged vulture jaws
Sank deep your razor teeth
Tore from my heart all I held dear
Shook me till my soul rattled
And there was nothing left to take
Then you tossed me, Toto-like, into Oz.

I crumpled
Sans yellow brick or ruby slippers,
As you snickered and skipped away,
Left me to die.
I did.
And then my Life began.
