A man experiences a heart attack and dies |
| He felt the pain intensely in his jaw Extreme heaviness crushing his chest Intense burning pain Radiating across his back and Down his lifeless left arm Shortness of breath Denying life giving oxygen Knowing instinctively that his time was near He slowly backed away From friends and family Not wanting them to watch him die He walked into the woods Labored breathing and pain Forcing him to his knees Willing himself to his feet Pain dropped him to one knee And he crawled like a wounded animal Thrashing his head from side to side Trying to lessen the unbearable Relentless pain Across his shoulders Lying down in a bed of leaves Breathing in the scent of autumn He closed his eyes Perchance to see the face of his love And her smiling eyes Which appeared to change color Like the falling autumn leaves Fading in and out of awareness He cried out to her As she faded away A luminous whiteness Appeared as He reached out And touched The face of ~God~ |
