Reanimation

Based on something that really happened to me. I'll leave it to you to decide whether it was a metaphorical or literal event...

Shocked. 

Ten thousand volts to the heart,

Pounding,

Head pulsing,

Exterior torn apart.

Lightening bolts 

Straight through eyes.

Illuminating,

Apertures on every side.

Hard to breathe.

Ask 'Why?'

'What?' 

'How?'

Sudden

Flash forward 

To here.

Now.

Emerge from immersion,

Rush of air,

Life giving assertion.

Inhaling calm.

Ideas circling.

Skin tingling,

Sparkling.

Young world 

Surfacing.

Faces glow,

Spirits float,

Rivers flow.

A sweet pill 

Handed over 

By the flourescent soul.

Brighter colour,

Louder sound,

Constant up,

Not coming down.

That brilliant flash

Cleared haze,

Space created.

A lifeless face

Re-drawn,

Animated.

Eyes open wide

To the being inside,

Uncovered,

Free,

Nothing to hide.

Limits cut.

Through realms and layers soared.

Self

Restored.

~ very trippy...
~ and... incredibly vivid and expressive poetry...
~ i had that 'self restored' experience a few months ago... 'twas amazing...

Well i'm stuck between thinking this was a near death experience or an idea that brought about a rebirth or awareness in the writers life, although self restored seems to suggest an awakening of self perception. Nicely done, flows really well

I'm glad it made you think! And you are spot on about awareness, awakening, self perception =) Thank you!
