I am conscious and aware.
How can this be?
I see my body lying there
but I am free.
I see before, behind and up and down
Quite easily
I have more freedom than I’ve known.
Triumphantly.
I can ascend towards the light
which I can see.
Is it my choice have I the right
to disagree?
I still have tasks I wish to do.
I make my plea.
Quite suddenly I’m back into
my own body.
Somebody whisper quietly.
“He’s coming round.
My eyes open reluctantly
and I am bound
Again within the boundaries
I used to know
It is not time for my release
I cannot go.
Now death will hold no fears for me
because I know
Death is a friend who sets you free
from earthly woe.

Are you sure you'd wanna come back? Nicely written Ivor, but sounds to good to refuse!

Poet, this reminded me of, 'Poe's' 'A Dream within A Dream, ' a spirit within a body. Death, isn't anything to fear. I have always thought of myself as a free spirit. Maybe, I am dead...LOL Brilliant and mysterious poem. 'I Enjoyed'.........
