The tranquility yonder

The gates of Hades shone with glittering lights, 

The boatman with a cheeky smile waits for his coin,

Everything seemed peaceful as life drained away, 

The shadow of death Wasn't dreadful as they say.

A light beaming at the end of the tunnel, 

Clouding every trace of darkness in the horizon, 

An aura of great serenity breezed my soul, 

Onto life I held on, 

I wouldn't look up, I wouldn't open my eyes, 

Lest I lose this battle of tranquility, 

Beeping sounds in my head for a while, 

The cloud of white was leaving my sky.

The beeping chimed louder at gates of Hades, 

A rumbling in the horizon caught my attention, 

I was brought into a new light, 

Faces familiar crowded my puzzled face.
