Life Eternal

Drifting

floating upwards

Escaping the darkness

where the lost reside

 

Upwards

Eternity beckons

calls my name

death’s embrace denied

 

Glorious light

warmth

love 

peace

fills me

I drown in its beauty

 

Flying through space

endless time

I travel beyond the known

to mysteries unspoken

I'm giggling at baby ric's review haha.
As for the poem have you ever had an outer body experience? It kind of feels like that's the calmness one feels at least that's what I perceived through this piece. I haven't had one but my mother has and she described it to me. She said it was the most collectively calm and peaceful feeling she has ever experienced but she was scared to leave us behind so she struggled back down into herself. I wanted to know what she was smoking but apparently she still states that it really happened like a vivid dream. Great write

Thank you :) No I haven't its just my view on death I guess and on escaping hell.

You really help the reader find beauty in death through this piece then, it's like a calm peace that people long for their entire life.. not just "Story Over" but like the beginning of a happy story.

Thank you :) Yes I do believe that heart and soul, death is not the end with God but only the beginning.

Felt like this was a death lullaby, strong yet gentle and floating. In some weird way, it was reassuring and comforting. Nice, I like this one a lot.

Thank you :)

A gentle and ethereal piece, well written and evoking several images; firstly escaping death, secondly entering a between state at death, thirdly dreaming or lastly a drug induced state, the reader chooses.
