Unaware Poem by Guinevere Eveleigh

Candles blooming long dead skin
How peacefully does one sleep
Eyes closed to outsiders stares
How gorgeously unaware
You're like a child in a slumber
Dreams take you over
But these aren't dreams of peculiarity
They are the endless river of paradise
The angels have come and have taken you home
Carrying your soul towards the heavens
And the sun shines like a halo
The clouds white and inviting
Your parents greet you
Your long gone mate shakes you hand
But your widow stays chained on earth's frozen ground
Clothed in black
Mourning your death
A veil of tears cascades and hides her face
Your children watch and still in disbelief
For the father who was always there
Lies blissfully unaware
That there are love ones mourning at ones catafalque
As the candles bloom
Your skin alight
As if alive
And you watch from heaven
Dressed in white
Fully aware
That you are departed
That you are dead
That they mourn for your fatality
And you wan
And kiss your widow's lips
Sending her a shiver
She's unaware
And whisper goodbye in your children's ears
But they only feel a breeze
They still mourn unaware
And you descend back to heaven
And you look back down again
Fully aware
Of your corpse
Lying on the catafalque
While many mourn
And you descend on
And wait in years for the heavenly reunion
That shall bring back family and friends
But you shall still watch and care, laugh, cheer, cry, grieve with them all
And they shall still remain
Fully unaware
