Near Death and Death Experiences
The experience of death
Is shared
By the one that dies…
And those that live
Remain here
Sad and uncertain
On Planet Earth
The experience is hard
Maybe even harder
For those that survive
Some people die
And are revived
They return from death
And remember the journey
Their adventure
Has a name
It is called
A ‘near death experience’
Such experiences
Such passages
To death and back
Teach us
More than most lessons
Encountering the gates
Of death
Is a voyage
To a world of sublime love
And unexpected beauty
That sometimes
One passes through
And sometimes doesn’t
Near death adventurers
Are like prophets
They don’t do fear
And they don’t fear death
They embrace it
They say
We meet
Our loved ones
Again
They say
Our material world
Is smaller than small
Like the perception
Of an ant
Scuttling around
An immense cosmic garden
Of light and love
