I am conscious and aware. <br />How can this be? <br /> I see my body lying there <br /> but I am free. <br /> <br />I see before, behind and up and down <br />Quite easily <br />I have more freedom than I’ve known. <br />Triumphantly. <br /> <br />I can ascend towards the light <br /> which I can see. <br />Is it my choice have I the right <br />to disagree? <br /> <br />I still have tasks I wish to do. <br /> I make my plea. <br />Quite suddenly I’m back into <br /> my own body. <br /> <br />Somebody whisper quietly. <br /> “He’s coming round. <br />My eyes open reluctantly <br /> and I am bound <br /> <br />Again within the boundaries <br /> I used to know <br />It is not time for my release <br />I cannot go. <br /> <br />Now death will hold no fears for me <br /> because I know <br />Death is a friend who sets you free <br /> from earthly woe. <br /> <br />11-Aug-07<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/preview-2/
