Coping

I'm beginning to feel the floor giving way beneath me
Still wearing my best dress, I bolt for the only door left open
As I cross the threshhold, the door closes, pushing me into the unknown
And I fall faster, deeper, darker, losing sight of everything
Below me there is nothingness. For only a moment.
A light flashes fuschia from below, moving closer and closer
I lose my breath and consciousness for a moment
And then I awake to soft, warm light not of any color I've ever seen
And it comforts me for a moment like a fetus still in its mother's womb
A voice speaks deeply. "Just relax and enjoy what you have".
Suddenly I am lifted, back into the darkness,
Back up to the doorway from which I came so abruptly
I step a foot back into the room which was crumbling before I ran
The ground is solid but my dress is torn and there is a run in my stocking
I suppose this is life. I suppose I will learn to face it.

Interesting write. Life is what you make it but goals still have to be met.

| Adreana your poem describes an out of body experience. Do not let anybody tell you that this is wrong. It is an experience that I have often had and enjoyed. I like the way you have described it top marks from bern. |
