[hometext] => This poem is about someone whose near-death experience teaches them the meaning of love...
[bodytext] => The Ascension The collapsing somatic aspect Is all but done; vitality is acknowledged to be slipping away White gowns prepare the shocking plates Bustling about in pristine robes On the sudden, I'm floating away Those gowned people did all they could to keep me down But now I'm zooming upward Through a shaft of radiant light-beams Ever upward my soul aspires I'm on a path to God, the path which all souls fly It's the last few miles in the awful rowing towards God Rolling images convolute my thoughts I ascend, the stellar heavens Flooding past me; this journey accelerates Soon I'm quite crushed by the body's last pain I thought that life would be pleasant But I hit rock-bottom Hearts united, their proximity only mutually injured This is the surge towards God, everyone's worn out But, it's the task at hand So I continue zooming towards God Permeated by permutations of uncreated Light Speeding faster than the brevity of the life I lived But I feel the psychic cord pulled tight On the sudden I'm jerked back down These white creatures with white hands Applied the plates and vivified my body And I'm back here again I wasn't ready then I died before cardiac consubstantiality could take place Like a seraphic deity, my soul came flying back down And I'm back together This path to God must continue Albeit here on Earth; I shouldn't be afraid to to feel Suffering, beginning the journey anew for the sake of the awful rowing The goal of all life Will be realised in me; through fiery mutual concern I must learn to accept pathology and have a kenotic heart And ascend the path to God [comments] => 1 [counter] => 202 [topic] => 49 [informant] => Matariel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => mystical )
