once i was a little child full of optimistic wonder then i fell into an ocean and its current swept me under down i sank, as it engulfed me the sun-streaked surface, a shadow became then my heart slowed down its beating and in the dark, I felt a Name once the feeling overcame me i knew i must discern its source      *i called the Name with final breath      and yielded myself to its force* Death swirled up and all around me and tight in her arms, i was held down i sank, as she engulfed me once-flickering hope, in an instant, quelled           and I died.           and I died. FLASH with sudden blinding brightness a force grabbed me from death’s shroudings up i rose, in swift ascension and the speed was overwhelming then my soul recalled the feeling and i felt the Name once more when at last, i stopped ascending the Name is all that I longed for so i followed with the masses i chased the paths of those ahead soon the masses ceased to wander; i followed where their gazes led           then           i was a little child           full of optimistic wonder           and           i finally knelt before           the Name of Love my heart was after
