Near Body Experience
It was about twelve noon when they asked me to count backwards
Only the potion they used on me just seemed to push me onwards
I got down eighty seven when I heard these voices
"No one has ever gotten this far", "We better give him more C's
I opened my eyes to see seven faces peering down!
I lost consciousness at eighty six, then went void of all sound
I seemed to flip over as I floated up into the ceiling
But not before I saw a candy bar on top that railing
The scene changed to a dark gray, I was really floating
There was an entrance to a castle was before me, looming
I was heading for it when I saw their blurry faces
They were on both sides, moving in their spaces
I tried to make them out, but I went into the tunnel
It was so warm and safe, only for a very short while
A tiny pin of light was just ahead, I regained my sight
I recalled entering the light was sure death. Was I right?
It grew evermore brilliant, I couldn't close my eyes
I heard a voice say " I want to live" for three times
It was a miracle in disguise, as I felt this pull ease up
There was something there, and it wasn't any ghost! Shut up!
I started to float back out of the tunnel, in somewhat relief
Could see the beings at the tunnels entrance, as I retreat?
I was a stones throw away from them when I was jolted to life
I woke in a hospital bed, looking at a doctor dressed all in white
