Dead men tell no tales it’s true,
but the clinically dead for only
moments tell many tales
a life review where they see
the good and not so good
things they did in their lives
not punitive but for greater
spiritual growth
the tunnel and the white light
maybe a gateway to a
glimpse of the heavens
for some what seems the
Apex of the afterlife
unconditional love beyond words
beyond imagination
that makes the living world
seem dreamlike and unreal
by comparison they say
a place they never want to leave
that they call their real home
Of course, they weren’t completely
dead, so no telling if their tales
were true
or if when they are completely dead
their tales will prove untrue.
