What Does It Feel Like

What does it feel like to die?
When  last breath gets expelled
When final bell sounds
When heart find peace
And minds cease

Do you hear the deafing shot?
Or just the firepin
Click
Do your ears ring
Or is there just calm

Do you know
That it is your last breath
Do you feel 
the blood slowing down
Do you hear
The ever so quite thud of heart
Suddenly stop? 

What does it sound like?
Oceans roaring
Wind howling
Rain falling
Or just
Nothing? 

What does it taste like?
Steel
Blood
Or the sweetest
Taste you'll ever know

What does it feel like
This death 
We know so little about
Is there truly a light
At the of the tunnel?
Arr there wings fluttering by?

Maybe it truly is happy
Maybe there is a warmth
A glow
A sudden smile 
Of content

Or is it just over
Quite
Black 
Cold

What does it feel like?
