Almost There..
I see it now, shimmering, golden,
distant..
I have no desire, other than to reach the light.
Love emanates and surrounds me,
I’m Tourniqueted with an inconceivable intensity
of emotion.
Light,
love,
belonging.
I’m closer now, I want to move faster but nothing moves…
The amber warmth touches my face.
My eyes searching through the brilliance,
my ears straining in the vacuum..
Take me into that ‘forever’ home
where only flawless love lives…
Don’t leave me out here,
abandoned,
afraid,
alone…
My hand outstretched reaching into the glowing phosphorescence
yearning to touch that sacred eternity.
‘Your choice’ I hear,
through the nothingness in my head.
‘Your choice’,.....
Unbidden images bedazzle my inner eye.
A babe in arms so tenderly cradled, a child walking to school
holding my mothers hand, first kisses, first love, first tears of sadness and joy
A past and a present...
All the small gifts in life that pass by unremarked,
forgotten.
Now so close to my heart, so precious, unique
No words needed,
choice clearly made..
The glow retreated, leaving a permanent warmth in my soul.
Perfect peace shattered,
confusion and life abruptly surrounds me
Caring faces welcome me back,
albeit temporarily..
I was almost there….but now I’m home.

Thank you so much for reading my poem on a Near Death Experience.
I love the variances you chose for your subject matter- you certainly never bore the reader with a repetitious 'theme' for your poems - and this is excellent..as always!
Thank you so much StevieC - you know my interest in Near Death Experiences and also my personal interest and experience of UFO's which I might share one day! Thanks again for your kind comments xx

Dear Poet LODIGIANA!!
This SUPERB piece of writing transports the reader with excellent phrasing that brings the reader near to the warmth and the light ......words that leap from the page to inspire the minds eye to reach into that 'sacred eternity' along with the author...... as close a comparison all I can attest to is the experience one is confronted with when spending time inside a 'Sensory Deprivation Chamber' where all sense of smell, sight, sound, feel, and gravity are removed and the participant feel a sense of weightlessness and the mind is then forced to create images and feelings of its own because when the senses are cut off... the mind is forced to compensate by creating its own reality..... during which, I have personally experienced that "Sacred Eternity" you have so eloquently alluded to in this piece.... please pardon my rambling..... but for me,..... this is EXTRAORDINARY poetry and the world could use a LOT more of this type of conversation and experience!!.....PINNED!!.......your friend and admirer...T xo ????♥♥☀☀☀☀
Dear Poet Tony....I am stunned , in the very best possible way , by your really generous comments. I write as I feel most of the time and I can only hope that those feelings translate into coherent words...and many times, I'm afraid, they don't my friend!! I am a seeker I guess, and love looking at other 'possibilities' that exist in our world. I have been lucky enough to have experienced some unusual things in my life as have other members of my family..which maybe one day will find their way into print- Thank you so much for your encouragement ...so so welcome! Your friend and admirer also....Lodigiana x
