I tasted heaven today. When I closed my eyes, Took one last deep breath Calmed my limbs, And began floating in quiet. From the darkness came bright stars, I imagined they were the souls of my friends. A cradle of warmth, A kleidoscope of beauty And in its reflection, I see myself. A heavenly rain strokes me, Bathing me in love, Engulfing me, Memories spinning, washing me, Swallowing me in joy. As my lungs burn, begging for air, A deep breath fills my lungs, Coaxed by life's longing. With a wisp of Heaven's fragrance, Eyes reopen; I smile.

Tasting Heaven
I tasted heaven today. When I closed my eyes, Took one last deep breath Calmed my limbs, And began floating in quiet. From the darkness came bright stars, I imagined they were the souls of my friends. A cradle of warmth, A kleidoscope of beauty And in its reflection, I see myself. A heavenly rain strokes me, Bathing me in love, Engulfing me, Memories spinning, washing me, Swallowing me in joy. As my lungs burn, begging for air, A deep breath fills my lungs, Coaxed by life's longing. With a wisp of Heaven's fragrance, Eyes reopen; I smile.
I remember holding my breath as long as I could when I was young, laying on my bed
