there were no cathedrals
domes or church spires
or even heavenly choirs
when I dreamed in the clutch
of covid
yet there was peace
and a blinding flashing of lights
against a backdrop of
vast ebon sky
and there was singing too
a song of eternal love
emanating from the presence
of a pulsating brightness
a voice not recognized
mesmerized me completely
no doubt it was my song
lyrics written for me and me
alone
brimful was i to overflowing
knowing that I had lived
and there was love from another
to the depths and heights
of the unknown
my poet mind wanders
no big deal
though the tears cried on waking
no figment of my imagination
they were real

Wow a boomerang into the beyond and unknown, the singing maybe angels? Lyrics written for you and you alone, wow I just got a glimpse into someone else's mind, so very happy you are here to tell your tale because so many only went one way. As you always do with style and grace kudos my dear Cassie. 🌹
Thank you Teddy, I didn’t see angels but I felt so much love. Not a near death experience, just a fever which left a very memorable experience in its wake. Always appreciate your support for my efforts 🌹
Visions in our darkest hours are sometimes the most uplifting. The depths of pain and despair balanced by the euphoria of joy. Lovely Cassie so glad you made it through
Thank you Soren. In the midst of a fever, I experienced something wonderful. I was never in danger, even though I was ill. Pleased you enjoyed reading.
When I eventually get better, I shall pray for a near life experience ..
