Array ( [sid] => 147496 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => From The Darkness [time] => 2009-01-18 19:04:57 [hometext] => This took me some time to type up, its about me first heart attack back in August. [bodytext] => Heart pounding
Air too thick
So hard to breathe
Drowning skin

Is this how it feels?
Life bailing out
Numb body
Just a stare

Ground ripped away
From underneath me
Falling down
Catch me, I’m falling fast

Light inviting me in
A loud beep
Shimmers in the dark
A voice speaking

Heart pounding
Is this the end?
Bright light
I’m coming near

But me time
Is not yet arrived
Revive me
From the darkness

Aw, Nats, that's sad. I did not know you had a heart attack. This kind of comes from two places, the sadness (and fear) of possibly losing your life but happiness that you made it through. I am happy you made it through.

This did bring a tear to my eye and the stanzas about the light that really made me relate to a time I almost drowned...I remember seeing a light as I sank to the bottom .. then I woke up to people all around me after I was revived. I don't remember it all but I do rememebr fear, panic, a light and a sort of peace.

Again, I am glad you are still among us. The kiddies need their Mom!!!

Take care...really, take care of yourself.

Your time is far from spent in this realm.
I'm sure it is a very frightening experience and difficult to put into words, yet you did manage just that here.
Glad that you are still around my friend
