An elegy of the author's self-awareness and perception of reconnecting with deceased immediate family members in the aftermath of his passing and the desire to be free from the pains and complexities of mortal life.

In the ground, resting in my grave,

Nothing more from life can I crave.

Isolate my soul to a remote cell,

Reunifying with family would be hell.

 

In reuniting, such a torment would bring,

A bittersweet ache, and dissenting zing.

Its in this solitude I shall find my peace,

A respite from the world's ceaseless pace.

 

In silent whispers of the earth's embrace,

A solemn refuge, a sacred space.

My corpse, buried in it's eternal rest,

As mourners' hearts find solace blessed.

 

For in this hallowed, sanctified ground,

A peace profound is sure to be found.

No more to yearn, no more to roam,

In this burial place, is my eternal home.
