I was feeling ill.. and I laid down.. to rest...
I felt weak..and dizzy.. and thought rest..would be best...
I laid there for a moment..then everything went black...
I came to.. in surroundings...not knowing.. where I was at...
but I found I was.. in a tunnel.. of a scratched mass of gray...
I was floating.. and It seemed.. that time had left.. and I had stayed...
At first I thought.. I was speeding...so fast..so very fast....
but then I realized the tunnel..was ..the fast moving mass...
It was as though.. It was faster ..than the speed of light...
and yet.. I was like a feather..floating.. still.. in the night...
I thought, Gee..am I dreaming...or is this some weird fate?...
Oh God no!.. am I headed..to be an eternal..keepsake?...
At the time..I felt... no earthly ties...
no memory of..anyone elses lives...
just my own...me..on my own...all alone...
In a confused state..of ..whats happening to me!...
I began to realize.. it was real...reality...
I felt my insides flutter..like when speeding.. over a hill...
and a scarey...but calm feelin came..as though I had no will...
I looked on down the tunnel..it was small and narrow...at the end...
there was no looking backwards...at least I didn't look back then...
The tunnel was moving ..at the most greatest speed...
I was afraid to reach ..and touch it..in fear It would devour me...
I floated on...wondering... Where the Hell am I!..
It was like outer space.....I was......inside ..the sky...
What the hell is happening? Where is this going?..
Am I scared?...if I am...it's not really showing...
it's as though..I was seeking..to what would be coming...
a surrendered feeling...for there's no where.. for running...
a Captured sense...but.. it was okay...
Wondering how long...would be.. my stay...
then...in a blink...as I seemed to awake...
which also seemed weird.. in my.. already awake state...
I was laying on a bed ..and people were there...
Trying to wake me... with faces ...of care...
This is so hard ..for me to explain...
everyone will insist..that I am insane...
it would be all in vain...cause how could anyone know...
if they've never been there..if they didn't go..and so..
I'll keep it to myself...I'm back now..and relieved..
but ... where ever I was..... It's now sacred to me....
but who would believe...who would believe...
Reason for writing:
This is a true experience that I had and I wanted to share it..but..who would believe?
