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.
Just a nightmare I wished to be true.
I went to bed with just the flu.
I awakened!
And instantaneously 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, do not be afraid,
welcome aboard Elysium Lane.
Like a Sheppard without sound the ticket,
spontaneous guiding my mind and
telepathy answering 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.
Way too soon, my life flashes in review.
My mom, dad and siblings what do they do?
Soon forced to accept unwelcome news.
The strain to them for boarding this train.
No joy to be had of sad skies to be gained.
Oh God the pain!
Who is to blame for such a mistake?
It is not my time, let me escape.
I am not prepared; they are not prepared.
Unscheduled departures never seem fair.
Leaving loved ones without a goodbye.
Is an incomplete sentence so unclear.
To question the 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 get on 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 I had been blind,
and now really seeing for the first time.
It is okay, I am okay, it is okay!
I have reached divine!
Wish to view my parents knowing,
that I am fine and I now see.
What seemed to be an unscheduled,
was a departure, meant to be!
