Title: One Breath: As I'm Sailing Toward You





Author: Pattie





Rated: G





Category: MA, UST, Scully POV





Spoilers: One Breath





Summary: A poem that could easily be the thoughts of Scully 


as she fights past the after effects of her abduction.





Archive: Gossamer, any other nice home.





Feedback: Yes, please. trish59@444.net





Disclaimers: Chris Carter, 1013 Productions and Fox Studios 


own the rights to Sculy and Mulder, the X-Files, and their 


original stories. I intend no copyright infringement and make 


no money from any fanfiction I write.





Preamble: What if Scully knew that Mulder was by her side as 


she was lying in the coma, off of the respirator and hovering 


between life and death? Maybe she did know. (Some people claim 


there is an awareness in comatose patients). If Dana Scully 


were a poet, what words would she want Mulder to read while 


watching over her? What if an angel had given him that poem? 


Perhaps Nurse Owens?

Take my hand and hold it forever


For I feel I can't bear the thought


Of falling away to a place I know


You can never follow me.





Take my love and feel it's depth


And the intensity of it's hues


You pray for me by the bedside dark


We have never been so close.





Take my love and see it clearly


Since I cannot speak it right now.


I want to see you when I open my eyes,


And have you holding me.





Bring your warmth and give me your fervor.


For the life I have often seen


Is a life I want to return to soon.


And you'll be the one I'll thank.





Take my blame and give me forgiveness,


If ever I lash out at you.


You never gave me that horrible voyage.


It was they who punished me.





Please don't cry, as I'm sailing toward you!


True, I know, you think I'm dying.


I'm coming back to the one I'm seeing


Standing with my Mom ashore.

Hope you like reading this as much as I liked


writing it. I felt a poem coming on and had to


follow my heart.
