A Poem By Me.

(based on actual experience)

‘ The Land of the Dead ‘

Floodgate opens, numbness begins to spread, once again I travel the land of the dead.

Here in the lower I search for the higher, magnificent spritual heights of which I aspire.

Thoughts manifest and a gateway opens, heres my chance or at least I’m hoping.

Like someone trying to win a race, I hurriedly jump through the open space.

Not knowing what to expect, I abandon all fear and yell “what the heck”.

Travelling through a tunnel faces appear and begin to mock, then it ends and I land on a rock.

Black empty darkness as far as the ‘ eyes’ can see, nothing at all except this rock and me.

An eternity passes of me feeling alone, bored and fustrated ” I’m going back home”.

I focus on my physical body lying in bed, then I begin to fade out of the Land of the Dead.
