Notes About The Poem
This poem "Unscheduled Departure" is written about ametaphor view of my teenage Niece transition awakening from an untimely, unexpecred passing from what appeared to be asimple cold. Part One! Revised
Unscheduled Departure
I had not woken from sleep.
Feeling weightlessness I peeked,
observing my body laid decease.
Slowly arisen to uncalmly peace,
realizing that I had passed in sleep.
Abnormal emotions so confused.
A nightmare I wished true.
I went to bed with just the flu.
awaken briskly surrounded,
by a warm aurora train like vessel,
hovered beyond me.
with an anointing ticket calling my name,
speaking softly a compelling phrase.
Telling me, don't be afraid,
welcome aboard Elysium Lane.
A Sheppard without sound, the ticket,
spontaneous guiding my mind,
telepathically answers my thoughts.
Had I known, I would have prepared.
For this departure I wish to be spared.
Thinking for heaven’s sake,
someone had made a mistake.
Soon to be sixteen, I am too young,
so many goals left undone.
too soon, my life flashes in review.
Mom, dad and siblings what to do?
Soon forced to accept unwelcome news.
The strain to them for boarding this train.
Joy not for sad skies to be gained.
Oh God the pain!
Who's to blame for such a mistake?
It's not my time, let me escape.
I'm not ready; they are not prepared.
Unscheduled departures never seem fair.
Leaving without a goodbye.
Is an incomplete sentence so unclear.
To question who, what and why,
I was scheduled at this time.
No reasons can be given, nor to explain,
the guided ticket to ease the pain.
It may seem unscheduled and a skewed,
But this departure is on time for you!
There is nothing to argue, no one to blame,
You are on the manifest to board this train,
to leave, so aboard please!
As I crossed the threshold on to the train.
A calm resonates into Godly hood I became,
at once relieved from all pain.
The lighter I feel the ease to go gets brighter.
My awareness flares so bright and clear,
as if blind, and now seeing for the first time.
I'm okay, Its okay,
I have reached divine!
Wish to view my parents knowing,
that I am fine and now I see.
What seemed to be unscheduled,
was meant to be!
