A Poem Came to Me This Morning

When death rattled In my chest

and I felt

Myself on the edge

Of some invisible point, once you go there, if you make it back you are forever changed.

But not in a bad way, just in a way of knowing the other side while still living on earth.

but once you cross and come back, which I have a couple of times, you may begin to have this vision where you can visit

All your loved ones

And then you just know things..

Or maybe I was born with this bridge to the other side. I’m like a cat with 9 lives.

But we all die eventually.

Most people are afraid of dying, but the fact is we all do, life on this earth is limited, one body per lifetime, but I do believe we keep returning until we don’t. That’s the mystery part.

But it does become difficult to act like you don’t know. To keep silent when you see things because it’s not for me to tell people the shadow things I see..

I focus on love. I focus on that seed inside me that can grow all kinds of ideas.

I understand that every moment with the ones we love are precious.

I have tried to create a life worth living,

That’s all I can do.
