I was lying so calm basked in light,
Is it day, or is it night?
Feeling so peaceful, so sublime,
Is this feeling theirs or mine?
I feel no discomfort I feel no pain,
It's alien to me, it's not the same.
I watch the glow that's settled so bright,
All around me is basked in a glorious light.
I am confused…I look around and stare,
Activity all about me, people here and there!
I see the face of the loved one I adore…
Tears fall like rain all over the floor.
Now I'm looking down on the things I see…
And there on the bed, is the vessel that's me!
I'm so confused inside my head,
As I stare at the shell that was me, upon the bed.
The light so bright beckons to me,
Its glow so strong, its all I now see.
I gaze about while thoughts in my head…
Suddenly alert me, to the fact that I'm dead.
I glide and float and feel sublime,
And look at the body that once was mine.
I shed no tears, I feel no pain,
While others in the room shed tears like rain.
But weep not for me, for I am fine,
Out of pain and basked in a feeling sublime…
Confusion is over, I now realize,
The reason for sadness and the tears in their eyes!
They stare at the vessel, the shell that was me,
And only their grief is all that they see.
But I feel no sadness, I feel no pain…
For I leave behind a body that was wracked in pain.
So dry your tears I whisper, cry not for me…
For this bright light and peace is waiting for me.
And as I glide higher and spiral high above,
The last thing I see is an abundance of love…
Tears shed for a body that now has no soul,
And as I silently drift, I am at last whole…
No pain no fear, just release,
For this life of hell was about to cease!
They cry for the vessel, the shell that was mine,
Whlie I glow in the glory of a spirit sublime…
The spirit that's me, a soul floating without time,
As the light takes me higher, I whisper, ‘peace be thine…!'
