Death Is A Welcoming Presence Poem by Eben S J

The unbelievable pain hit me
I could hear my blood dripping
My mind was racing
My heart was slowing

I could feel my heart in my mouth
Beating slowly…
Slower
I felt so cold

I could feel the life ebbing out of me
People shouting at me trying to keep me
Suddenly I didn’t feel cold
I feel warm

I don’t hear any voices
I cant hear my heart
I cant feel the pain
I cant feel the cold

I don’t feel anything
I remember everything
I can see everyone I love
I can see anything I want

Have I gone to a better place?
Am I dead?
Am I alive?
I think that is for the world to decide
