The Deepest Sleep Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen
The Deepest Sleep
The deepest sleep
He had been sleeping deeply
woke up tried to be awake before the sleep
took him into the depth of death.
He struggled to open his eyes, couldn`t.
Knew he had to make it, was able
to put one foot on the floor, the coldness
of the floor made him open his eyes.
He inhaled intensely it had been a close call
had he slept five minutes more
It had been too late.

Awesome intensity in this poem on near death experience, a truly scary experience I can relate to. Remarkable description, pace, and closing line.
