________________________

"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. ____________________________ June 21, 2020 Poetry/Rhyme/Linda-Marie Sweetheart Copyright Protected, ID 20-1261-896-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Linda-Marie Sweetheart and Constance La France Submitted to the contest, Back To Life sponsor, Anthony Biaanco First Place

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.

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.
