As I awoke from my dream on a cold winters day
I had a disconcerting want that wouldn’t go away
It was pulling at my thoughts with an irreverent desire
I felt my body lifting up, moving higher and higher
I floated through the ceiling, out into the air
Even though I was afraid, I didn’t seem to care
I knew that I was ok, safe from any harm
As I drifted through the clouds, I didn’t feel alarm
I continued moving faster, until the stars where just a blur
Then space itself embraced me, like a baby wrapped in fur
I began to feel a presence, although I could not see
I knew I was not alone, there was someone there with me
A warmth grew deep inside me and filled me with affection
I wasn’t sure of where I was going or even in which direction
I knew I had to ponder this ascension through the sky
But no questions filled my mind as if I knew the reason why
I was at peace in this location but I knew it couldn’t last
I made no assumption of the future and no judgments of the past
I was one with everything, connected with purity and love
As I reflected on this feeling, a voice bellowed from above
It instructed me to remember, all the things that I was shown
And to pass this knowledge on, to those that think they are alone
In an instant I was home, not knowing what to do
So all that I have learned, I’m now passing on to you

About Me
- David Phillips
- Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia, Canada
- I work full time as an advanced care paramedic in Nova Scotia. I am married with three daughters. I have been married to the same beautiful woman for over 21 years and I still live in my hometown, (I haven't found a way out yet! lol!) I am the middle child from a family of eight. I have just recently put my poetry into book format. I first began writing my poetry as a way of self-expression but I have also written it with the intentions of having others read it and hopefully gain understanding through my words. I have always felt out of place, emotionally, spiritually and socially, like I never truly fit in but I am working through this and although at times it is a heavy burden, I don't regret being this way because it has led me to good things and also, it has allowed me to express my self through poetry. I hope that my writing will continue to improve and inspire others to do the same. I am currently working on my second poetry book and I would truly appreciate your support but more importantly I would like to hear any comments from those of you that have read my poems.
