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
Breaks down the compromises

Or wind
Or water

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
