(Thought I'd go out with more than a whisper!!!)
Its quiet.
A soft stillness illuminated by a wafting blue light surrounds me as I lay in a field of flowering dreams.
Its beautiful.
I'm not alone, in fact there are thousands all around me, and even more arriving with every creeping second.
Its Restful.
They all lie as I do, coming to a rest and gazing towards the glowing aqua sky.
Its cosmic.
I feel a hand groping around in the moist grass, hidden by both the dim lighting and the lenghtening blades.
Its rough.
I grip it and clench my hand tightly, reassuring them that someone is with them.
Its saddening.
The other hand becomes stiff, cold, like it has just turned to stone.
Its confusing.
Others raise their heads to see some strange sight that I cannot see, my eyes still locked on a single swirling star.
Its enchanting.
I finally muster enough strength to sit up and see what the others do, and I look into the skeletal face of death.
Its horrific.
His grin is wide, almost joyous, and holds none of the malice that is attributed to his visage.
It is comforting.
He picks me up and leads me like a gentleman leads a fair lady to a dance, higher and higher into the light, above the ocean of blue haze.
It is amazing.
Soon I too am in the cosmos I had just wondered at, and I feel myself becoming filled with a warmth I had never felt before, Death smiling upon me the entire time.
It is Beautiful.
Soon, I am another blazing star in the sky, for all to look upon and wonder at, for all to dream to be and consider great.
It is Quiet.
And it is peace.
