TUNNEL DOWN

Even at the beginning, everything has meaning

By Jyme PridePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Ba-boom. Ba-boom. Ba-boom. A great opening up

Hold the smiles and don't shed any tears. The beating softly goes away. . .

And the screaming stops. Is now over…

Ha-ahh. Ha-ahh. Ha-ahh. I'm now breathing on my own

Lights and colors spin in the nigh. The air's fused with heat

and madness, rush in and is sucked down full of breath . . .

Bright are the colors of every hue. Wash me down, pamper me now

The brightness of the place hurts my eyes

Pinks and blues and almost everything white

The great opening up place

So happy!

Write it down.

The great opening up place is large and bright, full of colors,

full of sounds . . . The light is almost full of white

A chorus of angels singing, dies to a hush in my ears,

replaced by beeping and hums and whispers

"Ahhh, you're mommy's now…."

OPENING MY EYES. . .

…th…the light at the end of the tunnel it's not green, not pink

Not purple or blue--

Ahhh, it too is white
