Buried But Aware

Buried Dead and buried Buried this morning Buried six feet under Under the earth Under an oak tree Tree of remembrance Tree of death Death for me Death forever Forever cold Forever silent Silent in my grave Silent without life Life has ended Life has ceased Ceased to be Ceased to exist Exist and live Exist and love Love has gone Love has fled Fled for good Fled away Away from here Away from loved ones Ones I cared for Ones I am missing Missing the smiles Missing the sunset Sunset over the sea Sunset over the mountains Mountains and valleys Mountains and rivers Rivers that meander Rivers that run free Free and abundant Free without end End of the line End of time Time is over Time has run out Out to pasture Out and down Down in the ground Down but aware Aware but dead Aware but still Still Dead Written on 8/25/2015
