Clear!

Clear!

I feel
The warmth
Sweeping
My body,
Clear!
............
I hear
The alarms
Piercing
My ears,
Clear!
............
I see
The flashing
Blinding
My sight,
Clear!
............
Have I
Lived enough
To give
More fight?
I have love
From my
Child,
Again
I must
Live tonight
To give her
A loving dad,
"Dad! Please
Come back"
I'm not giving up!
Clear!
............
"We have a pulse"
Breathe......

Sometimes every day is a battle and we need to have a goal to fight for - thankfully there are saviours  out there who do their best to give life back. Great theme , well written Wayne !

I can relate, Wayne.
All too well, I'm afraid.
In 2010 I was declared clinically dead for almost four minutes after suffering a massive coronary. I was living in New Jersey at the time and I was shoveling out from a Nor'easter that dumped 38" of snow on us in less than 12 hours.
I began to have bad chest pains then blacked out.
Fortunately, because of all the snow, my kids school had been called off. It was my nine-year-old daughter who immediately called 9-1-1. The fire house was less than 5oo feet from our home so getting to our house wasn't a problem for them.
I had an NDE, or Near Death/ Out-of-Body Experience. As I hovered over the scene below, I could see everything going on. I watched as the paramedics tried many times to resuscitate me.
I heard my daughter scream, "Please, don't let my daddy die!"
The male counterpart of this coed team said, "I'm gonna call it," which I assumed meant my time of death.
But the woman EMT would not give up on me. She jabbed me with a shot of adrenaline straight into my heart and the next thing I knew I was lying in a hospital bed, surrounded by my family.
I sometimes think I brought something back with me from the "other side." I went to a very dark place. Not Hell, but somewhere in between.
I'd never written dark poetry before my experience. After that, it was very easy for me.
Nicely penned, my friend.
Pleasant screams...

Wow Dean! What a comment, you dipped your toe in the dark side, such an ordeal you went through, but it gave you poetry, every silver lining I suppose, glad you're ok now or else we wouldn't have thoughts and words from yourself ??
