Near Death Experience
That night I felt the frail body burn in fainting fever
Pounding heart pushed blood to the brain in a rush
In the swinging sense I felt floating in thin air forever
Vaporized eyes strained in vain to clear the vision
As they looked vacantly transfixed in hallucination
At the changing surreal shape of surmounting space.
Through the thin layers of luminous liquefied night
I saw my entity sinking with my essence escaping
Getting dissipated in the domain of ethereal ether
I heard the sound of the distant bells tolling faintly
Masking the music of the swan song fading away
In stalled time’s serene depth of sublime silence.
That’s when I saw a pale figure appear as if frozen
In the mist outside the window open on the starry sky
As the gloomy clouds cleared I saw in the moonshine
The smiling face of my mother who I’d lost years ago
She came to take me with her, but before I said wait
I regained consciousness after near death experience.
