A DEATH

Slipping back from ecstasy
Afraid I ask,
“what’s wrong with me”?
Heightened feelings,
Spiritual fusion, ascension,elation,
Was it an illusion?
Long blank spaces
once were filled,
supplied with answers,
peace,
God’s will.
I’m lonely, I’m lost,
a death in my soul
can’t call, don’t hear,
a silent dark hole.
I want to get back
resume the connection.
Come from this death
Into resurrection.

6-8-1987
