REBIRTH
Rebirth was very energetic
Like a light beam or a sound beam
Theoretically
Moving along... zooming along
I knew I was there
Yet I didn't know where
To Life and to the earth...
Just a slim chord
Connected me
I knew...
That if it broke
I would be gone
But for some reason I didn't care
And it was silent
But somehow that silence
Was like sound
...Way up there
Circling...circling...circling
Around and around and around
Knowing not...who I was
Or where I was bound
But I knew I existed
I knew I was there
I knew I was going... somewhere
Circling...circling...circling
Around and around and around
Then I landed energetically
Zap...zap...I hit the ground
And looked around to see
Astoundingly...
The light that was surrounding me
Aboundingly I knew...
I had come home
Emergingly I stood
As well as...you know...I could
To walk along so free
And speak my thoughts to be
And to seek out pleasantly
A oneness endlessly.

Note about this poem:
I wrote this poem
after a death experience
of a drug overdose
in 1971.
I was left for dead
for about two hours...
but my wife stayed
by my side.
Eventually...
I came back,
and when I awoke
it was as if I was being
electrically charged,
throughout my whole body.
As I stood,
I felt like a robot;
every fiber of my being
was getting an electrical charge
as I started to move again.
It took me awhile to realize I was alive.
It took me longer to realize who I was
and where I was.
Everything came back very slowly,
and very electrically!
