near death experience

there are many on record

the caves

the tunnels

the blinding light..

a hesitation

on the line

between life and death..

so many forms of death

each with corresponding life

these deaths

a passing of day into night
a passing storm

dark passages

each exhalation..

in each of these

a transition is reached

life and death not distinguished

the tunnel becomes

is the light..

so we read the reports

awakening

to life's primary

signal...
