I am floating free from my bodily restraint
Solid walls cannot hold me
My body lies between clean white sheets
Alive, unmoving.
Loved ones wait to hear good news
I feel no fear as I move outside
Rain and wind have no touch
I am neither cold nor wet
I search the faces of people passing by
Their eyes are blind, they see me not
Why do I exist in this strange way?
To stay would be lonely
My body holds the key to my return
I pray it will not leave me out here too long
I want to live.
I see the world through different eyes
I know I can survive if chance is given
To start again, pain forgotten
I remember the world in colour
I have seen with other eyes
I feel a sudden shimmer
A pull, as if by an elastic band
My mind in contact, whispers
I will bring you home…
