    Wow, just when I thought your last entry was brilliant, I think this is more brilliant. Totally love the picture that you have painted with your words. There are so many stanzas that stood out for me but I love the way you describe this:

    Footfalls sink gently into a soft
    mantle of manicured grass
    dotted in decorative stones

    I mean the imaginary here is just awesome.

    A metaphoric piece that ends with a final goodbye.Nice:)

    You do a really good job at setting the mood with your vivid descriptions of a scene at a cemetery, from the point of view of the newly deceased occupant.

    As for critique, "scared" should be "scarred." I would also get rid of the periods, since you seem to use them randomly, and the few you use, seem to interrupt the flow.

    I would eliminate this line, because the reader already knows someone died, and it is not necessary to say it:
    "blanketing the newest occupant."

    Actually, after having read this a couple of times, it is not clear that this is from the point of view of the deceased. I think you could rewrite it a bit to help clarify that.

    Overall, a really nice write from you. :)

    Honestly, I like so much these descriptive verses you structured well here :)

    It's somehow complicated, but I managed!

    Amazing.
