The grass is still green
on this side of the world
The sun still shines red
through my eyelids
It warms my upturned face
as the fall leaves fall
with delicate grace
Children still laugh
and the birds still fly
Flowers open and close
You’re gone away
little one
but closer than ever
No longer does your heart
beat in my body
That quick little drum
has faded now
But now that you’ve gone
to be with the stars
you’ve ripped open my heart
exposed Heaven within and
I’ve found you
closer than ever
here in my soul
Just East Of Crazy Land 
Lovely poem Anna. You also have a great eye for taking photos.

Thank you! I’m getting more into photography lately. Like poetry, it’s a quick way to capture a beautiful moment, and my iPad mini makes it very easy!
