Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Heart Leapt For Joy

I never wanted to die
Until I did
But they revived me
Gone was joy now, back was pain

I remember little of it
As time wanders on, it is less prominent
One day I will not remember ever dying
I am sure of this without knowing how

I felt my heart leap with joy once upon a time
I died and found myself beloved and nurtured
I cannot forget Nirvana, can I?
There is something wonderful in the land of death.

L Milton Hankins July 30, 2022 at 12:04 PM Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. As Deb said, "It's the most incredible journey I'll ever take." Caren Krutsinger July 31, 2022 at 1:48 AM Deb was totally right. I know this every time I am on the brink of death and I say "it's okay; I had a great life," and then bam....I am still here. WHAT the what?
