TO NOT TO BE OR TO BE
TO NOT TO BE OR TO BE
I travel into my death
forgetting this world of now
that has all but forgotten me
this world looks so
insignificant
like a planet reduced to a full stop
being dead
felt so alive
I didn't give the world a second thought
"...to infinity &. . .beyond!"
I grin to my self
seems a sense of humour survives
glad to lose the body
never did get on with it
think I'm going to enjoy just being thought
that's it
just thought
I think myself into being
I'm still me
only
minus my body
I think
then I am
my own creation
I've been to
nowhere & back
now I am an everywhere
here I am
& here I am not
the mesh of existence
I try to explain
my self to
my not-self
so now I
understand it all
it's. . .
*
A friend of mine telling me what it was like to die and then...not to die.
