Sitting at my computer in front of a window
with the moonlight coming through,
I find myself thinking about you.
And I’m remembering how nice it was
being with you.
And what a wonderful part of my life those
seven years were.
Though our love ended when you got sick
and didn’t want to burden me
and left despite my forever vow to be there
always for you, I’m okay with our lost love now.
And though alone and over twenty years older,
I’ll go to my grave remembering you
and how much you meant to me.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)

Looking forward to this transition—what exactly does unconditional love feel like?
Not having experienced it, I don’t know. Those who have experienced it were clinically dead briefly and returned to life, some of the NDEers.
They experienced what they called Source, aka, God, which they said was unconditional love beyond words, beyond imagination, their real homes, and they never wanted to leave it, and that this existence was less real and dreamlike by comparison.
Perhaps the closet thing to it in this temporary existence would be a mother’s love for her child, but I doubt even that comes close to defining it. There seems to be something like what the Hindus describe as eternal bliss consciousness involved with it.
Of course, not all NDEers have experienced it. Some had hellish near death experiences, which may or not be self projected. But those experiences were 100 % real to them, and what they reported seemed like what one would imagine a hell to be like: demons, eternal torments, people screaming, etc. Generally, they are saved from these negative NDEs by a higher force before returning to life.
I’m not a believer in eternal damnation, but those hellish experiences definitely fit what a hell would be like.
I see death as the awakening of a lifetime or like an ultimate relocation. If you read enough NDEs in books, some by doctors now, or listen to them on YouTube, despite some which seem bogus, you start seeing common threads and validations of something greater beyond this brief, uncertain existence.
