A Taste Of Eternity

A poem about near death experience
By Father John R. Green

Gliding with ethereal grace toward a radiant light;

Flashing bliss, deceased loved one in sight;

An unearthy transition, meeting death with a peace rare;

Comforted with a vision glorious and fair.

Though dismantling the terror of dying mortals,

Let not this be associated with heaven's portals,

Our hearts and minds envision not the eternal realm.

The celestial promise of Christ, our spirits overwhelm.
