when the light lit him up

he was an ultimate party guy
he could drink anybody under the table
get up you pussy he’d jokingly say when others passed out
a friend said he thought the party guy would end up on skid row
an addicted going nowhere drunk who would die there
because he drank so often and too damn much
but everything changed when night turned to day
and the Light lit him up and he never drank or partied again
because the Light left him with spiritual energy streaming up in him that was never going down
that made even talking a drink like pouring dirty swamp water into pristine spring water
and the Light irrevocably changed his life forever

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. :-)
