"8 Minutes."

 So I was told a couple
of weeks ago about an
ex-relative who was...
having chest-pains and
rushed to the e.r

They took her in and
were going to give her
shots of which she made
them aware-of that she
is deathly afraid

Was there any other way

So while the first doc
stepped-out, after a few
minutes another came in
and intended-on giving
her the shots anyways

But this had an adverse-
effect because she slipped-
out and actually flat-lined
for what they say was
around 8 minutes

They continued to work on
her and brought her back
and the story that she told
was kind of intense

She said that she entered
into a beautiful field, full of
absolutely brilliant looking
flowers by the thousands,
all in hi-definition colors
And that as she walked through
it she came upon a group of
people having a picnic

And feeling good here she
squatted and began to sit down
with them but they looked-up
and peacefully told her to go
away, she doesn't belong here

She immediately opened-up
her eyes and once again viewed
the inside of the e.r room
They said that she was out for
around 8 minutes but she said
that her time in the other place
seemed much longer and...

Sweeter

I've thought about it and it has
really made me say... Hmmh
