I Died Once
I Died Once
At this very occasion I witnessed my spirit decent from my flesh hurried to meet darkness as I lost breath
At that very moment a combination of numbness, sorrow and grief couldn’t be articulated from the strength I was soon to lose
I swear I saw light meet darkness in a split
I died once
The spirit connecting my body and spirit disconnected leaving my body going on a shut spree
I knew I would never enjoy this sweet thing called life
Or at least I knew I couldn’t enjoy it this time
At that very moment I hungered for light to be shone on my life
To light these warm memories life once shed with me
I swear I died once
Grief’s bitter cold and sadness consumed me like a stream sweeping away the ocean sand
My numbness was deep, and my desperate body needed a replant of hope’s little seed
Pictures of amazing people I shared memories with flashed with the slow deem of light like a candle slowly put down from the chase of light
I died once
For a moment I switched to this happy place where my peace was restored
Remembering my annoying laughter and all I ever did on this earth
I cherished my honest, caring and loving spirit along with the souls I met in this journey of life
The spring’s cheerful flowers then brought me back to life as I was about lose my breath completely
