she ran back inside and crumbled
fell onto the floor and passed right through,
into the next world
in a flash,
in a twinkling of an eye
the door opened
she was gone from that place as she watched the clouds pass by...

it seemed better than this from the books she remembered reading
'funny', she said to herself,
I thought there was no memory here
then, how can I remember, still?
for I am sure this is heaven and not hell!
looking around, familiar faces smiled
lovely music flowed around her face
a thought brushed her forehead
and suddenly appeared
the direct manifestation, for real

amazed, she relented and succumbed to desire
instantly achieved,
a refreshing revelation, indeed
encouraged, she sang to the music and swayed
while butterflies danced
enchanted, she laid
her head on the pillow at the foot of the bed
but when she turned to reach over,
a voice boomed
' no regrets, you're not dead yet!'
but rather trapped inside your mind...
