Across a sheet of grassland

Sky touches marshes

A green blue white line

Tinged at night by red, a healing wound

To open you need closing in

Happiness means nothing until tragedy

Unsheltering sky

Emptiness in a crowded land

The time of being together

And what you had longed for

It was in your self

That the sky became open

In the landscapes of the heart

The framing of a view

The shaping of our lives

Views and lives transcend,

Triumph,

If we let them
