Near-Death Experience '85

It's been well o'er ten years since I took my journey through a darkened star-lit tunnel... ...Sucked down a streamlined funnel... Many people say their 'experience' was filled with feelings of love; beautiful sights...colorful lights, but mine was a fearful flight. I saw no glorious revelations, no visions of life past. I saw only darkness around me, with dancing stars surrounding... I flew with blinding fury straight ahead...out of control... I could feel my soul screaming as though the air was filled with electricity. I cried "No! No!", but kept going... I screamed "I cannot leave my son!" No escaping, filled with fear, the force pulled me e'er near. Suddenly, amidst my crying protests, I came to an abrupt halt. I was stuck there in the stars so bright... ...Ho'ering in my deathly plight... Then an invisible door square, yet round, opened oh, so slightly inward... The brightest light I've e'er seen flooded out one side to me... A booming voice from all around told me to "GO BACK." HE said my work was "Not yet done", and that I WAS "Needed" by my son. ...And I came back... I was given the chance to make my life right - to do what God has willed... One day, though, my life will finally end, and then I'll truly see my loved ones and friends.
