Linda-Marie Sweetheart

"A Near-Death Experience of A Sweetheart"


Floating through a corridor between two different Worlds
among white fluffy clouds and shimmering stars awhile wind unfurls
racing into darkness: destination to death's door
living in a heavenly kingdom ... forevermore ...

Traveling through deep tunnel as cold fingers touch
walls of blackened essence creating thoughts to clutch
quickly toward a bright white light of peace
my soul and spirit being experienced soft release ...



Rushing to a Paradise, landing on streets of gold
seeing the Face of God so clearly to behold
longing to embrace my dear departed family
loved ones who had gone before to their final destiny ...

Their captivating smiles excited my soul
sharing love once more as was in their earthly roll
but a huge white Angel stood between my track
he spoke mentally "child of God you must go back.

And yet, I was not sad but happy to have seen
my precious treasured relatives cuddled by Supreme Being 
why? I questioned must I return to Planet Earth?
Angel responed not your time to stay
your purpose unfulfilled for God to cherish every day ...

Suddenly transported through the tunnel smelling flowers
a jorney taking minutes but feeling like hours
and soon the sights and sounds ignited quiet hospital room
while my loved ones endured possibility of doom ...

My husband was squeezing my hand so tight I felt his love
as my children sobbed so loud praying to above
my eyes opened wide as I inhaled a breath
escaping to my body while I avoided Death ...

This near-death experience was an inspiration
for another realm exists in utter fascination
for now the message lives to enjoy both love and life
have no fear for death is harmless and erases strife ...

Hover close to God and always give Him thankxxx
through trials and tribulations He relieves all angst
Treasure every moment and anticipate the end
a beautiful place is waiting reuniting family and friends ...

Kisses and hugs replaced those solitary tears
knowing what lies ahead extinguishes all fears
please celebrate the gift of life in grateful attitude
Eternity is awesome with unending interlude ...

Linda-Marie wrote this poem right before her death, I suppose she had
a feeling her time was coming.  She was a wonderful poet and friend to
many.  Always with a kind word and positive comment and was loved.
This poem has received 13,310 views as of the posting of this tribute
and was written on Jan 30, 2013.  Because she was a lifetime member
I imagine her poems will be on this site forever or till the end of the site.
She was my poetic friend and holds a special place in my heart.

John Watt Date: 10/14/2020 10:02:00 PM Her writing was amazingly prescient, and how glad I am that you highlighted Linda's last post. Constance, you provided a thoughtful and loving tribute to her life, her poetry, and what she meant to Soup. Her name remained on the top 100 contest winners until very recently, and that after more than 7 years of being gone. Thank you.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/24/2020 6:49:00 PM I am glad you showed this one, Dear Heart because I too remember it being her last post and thinking how, when she died, it must have really been in her mind that death was approaching. Wonderful post for a wonderful friend. She will be remembered here always.
