As I lie below the cross lighted bright

As I was thinking what a beautiful night

I felt a touch of the Lord upon my soul

And from my body my spirit did flow

My spirit rose to the right and 15 feet into the air

I felt the Lord’s touch and knew the Holy Spirit was there

For ten minutes my soul floated in pleasurable bliss

You do not need to believe this, I will not insist!

But as I hovered in the air near the Cross of the Lord

I wondered why it was I who deserved such a reward

I could see, smell, feel the breeze and hear every sound

I could see my mortal body lying below on the ground

I could see the grass below swaying in the breeze

I could hear the leaves rattling in the trees

I could see and hear the cars whiz by on nearby I-95

With my body and soul divided I was still much alive!

Then I heard a car start up a ways down the block

My essence started falling toward my body like a rock

As the driver drove toward me shifting the cars gears

The falling sensation I felt brought on some real fears!

I shouldn’t have worried because the Holy Spirit was there

He caught my spirit and placed it in my body with care

As I sat up the driver saw me, waved and honked his horn

With my body and soul back together I Was Reborn!

This is a synopsis of an experience I had under a 15 foot high lighted hard plastic cross in a Church yard in Boynton Beach, FL in August of 1984.
