".... could not stop for death- he kindly stopped for me-

               the carriage held just ourselves and immortality."   

                                    Quote by _ Emily Dickinson


Scenes of my life passed by at lightning speed.
Everything in my being wants it to slow down,
in that moment as I thought that very thought 
to my surprise at once, it slowed immediately.
I started to see things more precisely and clearly. 
I studied each nuance, I was no longer blind,
I was gifted with a brand-new pair of eyes.
I found the beauty in any and everything I saw,
things that I thought meaningless and useless;
had much value and was very important to me.
My heart and my soul were bubbling over with 
love, I appreciated all big or small life was good,
Then it speeded up again and then it was over.
