Poem
OBE I never really believed in the white light At the end of a tunnel-try as I might I was having a laugh with the anaesthetist When the surgeon did ask him for a quick assist “Why is she not asleep yet? I heard him ask She is used to the pre-meds, don’t worry this is my task. After many bouts of surgery over the years I was hard to knock out but I still had my fears. I loved the sleep anaesthetic does give The dreams are so wonderful and so real and vivid. This one was different I remember it well I was sat very high up looking down I could tell There was a lot of commotion below me that I could see There were bells ringing and flashing lights and then I saw me Wow this is weird how am I lying there but here I was looking around I could not believe it a white light did surround I was laughing and thinking this can’t be real Nobody sees a white light never mind tries to feel It surrounded me and I felt it, I now wasn’t to sure I had never seen anything like it before On top of the electric light that was below I saw the dust sitting on it even with the bright glow Then there was calm and things did quite down There was a rushing in my ears but no other sound. A voice came to me and said “Come on now wake up” A tap on my cheek and I felt them pull the pipe up I coughed and she smiled,” it’s all over now We are glad to see you, you don’t know how.” When I awoke they were standing round my bed One nurse I knew said “We thought you were dead” Charming said I, why what went wrong? “Your heart did stop beating, but now it is strong.” I wondered what had happened I was watching you all No you cannot have been, don’t say that, that tale is to tall I told them of the alarms the beeping and coloured lights I was watching from above, seeing what I might They smiled at me with an indulgent look But I know what I saw so they can put that in their book.
