This seems to tie into your poem "Love in the Afterlife."

Quite a bit of sadness, sounds as though describing seeing someone lying in eternal sleep with hands cusped?


"There is a hideous way
To explain everything,
And a delightful way.

So often those who
Speak of honesty
Speak only of hideousness.

I must admit, I prefer the
Morbid calm of darkness
To the nervous day..."

I really loved these three stanzas. Loved the useage of contrasting.
