My Great Adventure

This morning was unlike any other.
I awoke to music -
strange, otherworldly,
almost electronic but not quite,
yet harmonious -
uncountable, unquantifiable notes
woven into a seamless soothing hum
that drowned the sound of the sea.

My body felt different -
fluid, insubstantial,
as if I could lift my arms and fly.
The room itself had changed,
with no sense of the dread
that usually greets me,
no skinprickling chaos
freefloating from corner to corner.

Looking out I saw it tranquil, that sea -
usually a monster unleashed
from Neptune's bestiary -
barely rippling in dawncloud gauze.
Only small wavelets
betrayed I was not gazing at a canvas,
and even they stopped their dance
and became still as glass.

Puzzled, I sat back down on the edge of the bed.
Everything began shimmering.
Limned with a nimbus
of every color bleeding into no color,
every object in the room glowed;
every cell in my body shifted and kept shifting,
infinitesimal jewels in a living kaleidoscope,
singing in harmony with the music.

Just as I felt I would fly apart everything stopped -
the music, the shimmer, the shifting -
replaced by a whirlpool of black
that seemed to suck every bit of energy
from everything.
As I lay down,
too weak and dizzy to do anything else,
I realized, as my eyes closed for the last time,
I had woken up dead.
