fauxcroft

I close my eyes and drift away

on a sirocco wind which simply sways

me to sleep, of which i crave

while in my ears sumptuous music plays.

Sleeping deeper than ever before

imagery in my mind never seen before,

of divine angels and shining light

around my head and in full flight.

Images of long lost loves

approach from far and hover above,

smiling as they welcome me home

this place i have never seen and is to me unknown.

And yet I feel it familiar

seems like heaven of similar

but surely I have not expired yet

but yes my body I have left.

Astral flight or sudden death

have I taken my final breath,

guess I will find out in time

but it is the last thing on my mind,

as I rest in bliss and enjoy delights

of this place with it’s shimmering light,

and kindly faces that surround

yet there is very little sound,

except for soft music passing through my ears

so beautiful it moves me to tears

I do not care how long I have dwelt,

maybe it was a hundred years.

But after a moment a mist surrounds

and suddenly I hear familiar sounds,

sounds of birds and cars and speech

I realise I am back in reality.

So astral dream it must have been

showing and teasing me

about what is to come when time does pass

and I blink out of this life at last.

Nothing to worry about

nothing to fear

just a beautiful adventure that will move you to tears.
