I am lying on my bed

The uncomfortable feeling of the mattress

I saw shadows of people 

Who are you?

Why am I here?


My blankets looked divergent

Everything looked very fuzzy and distorted

The sudden feeling of my body shutting down and My mind too

What is this? 

This feeling I have never felt before.

I shut my eyes 

I saw the eyes of seraphim

Before I finally saw the emptiness 

The state of my mind

Gone.

 

I saw myself younger again 

I was walking around lost in the emptiness

The emptiness of my own-being

What is this void


I have finally woke up to the sunbeams

The sunbeams made me very comforted

I wrote this poem because I wanted to write about change in a person with a death or reincarnation metaphor.
