Death of a Psychonaut

".... could not stop for death- he kindly topped for me- the carriage held just ourselves and immortality." Quote by _ Emily Dickinson all her life she followed the rabbit it was no picnic, much darkness was unfurled and landed ships of horror on home shores the more psychedelics she did, the more she feared the other side in DMT she saw reptilians with horrible eyes, monsters with no faces, bottomless pits, dimensions with no air she felt like she’d glimpsed hell on acid and feared it as she reached old age. as death was washing away her mind like waves, she was held to earth by jolts of fear, what nightmares could await her after her soul was severed? she knew there was no limit to the universe’s imagination but when death carried her to the other side she looked around and saw that she was sober, and so was heaven. 5/31/23, Writing Challenge C Quotes, Constance La France

Whoa!! Sad state of affairs to be hooked to something that usually brings on earlier death. I like the poet, Emily Dickenson from which you used the quote because she had a very creative mind. Thanks for sharing this winner. Congratulations. Sara
