I lie here surrounded by my own fear and panic
Yet a serene peace embraces me
Washing emotion, thought, and pain away.
My breathing becomes shallow.
My racing heart begins to cease.
The pain is released.
The anguish gone.
The heat overcomes the cold.
A light shines through an aphotic tunnel
A voice speaks my name.
The nurses shout “We’re losing her!”
Everyone rushes in an organized chaos.
All around me machines, alarms, and sirens sound.
I go closer to the light, farther from the commotion.
It is beautiful here.
But there…My mother cries.
The pastor speaks solemnly.
The soothing voice calls again.
I feel nothing.
I start across a golden bridge.
Down along a clear rivers’ edge.
The green hill is soft as I climb it.
A man dressed in white greets me.
I go through a gate.
I can no longer hear the tumult of the hospital room.
I am at peace
There is no fear or pain in this place.
Solely love.
