The River

Within the raging river I was consumed;
In fear I thrashed – with eyes closed there was only darkness.

Then, I was awakened and behind the veil I could not hide –
I have crossed over to the other side.

Your feelings surface and carry the emotional force behind your words. A touching and eloquent description of death.
