Heaven's Gate

You opened the gate
I ran in
Scared

The man drove away
I watched him
Hoped

There was grass here
All I could eat
Hungry

You entered the field
I watched you
Warily

Your voice was soft
I moved around
Nervous

Your hand touched me
I expected blows
Shaking

I felt your soft hands
Stroking my neck
Gentle

I knew I was home
Being with you
Safe
