Out Of Body Experience

Breathlessness comes to me in the night
in darkness, like a vampire bat, silently.
Yet, I feel no panic or despairing fright
in my body with half closed eyes misty.
Unmoving bones, I do nothing, yet think
I see the answer to our constant dream,
joyous blackness whose colour I drink,
moving towards that transitional gleam.
At peace I move through time and space
yet, so suddenly, so quickly, so deliberate,
I draw ever nearer to that other place
that other time, truth, that other state!
My soul goes alone into a cosmic gravel,
will my life’s cord leave me as forsaken?
As I speed outward on my astral travel
a voice says “Return!” I return, I awaken!
