Something Otherworldly Occurred Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There are many experiences,
That can be considered mind altering...
With a changing of one's perspective on life.
Than just the one done someone has of being isolated,
For nearly five months in a hospital room, ]
Feeling as if to be an experiment probed and dissected.
And to then be healed knowing one is blessed.
Yet...
Continuing to have a consciousness,
Broadened like no one suspects.
As if something 'otherworldly' occurred as a test.
