One day, as the sun set, there was an unusual sight
Fire growing up from the forest...covering and consuming
Smoke rising into pluming clouds that set off color tinted rays of sunlight
Clouds that stank and choked no matter their beauty
Because little Suzie was playing in the woods her brother went to find her
......but neither ever returned
This is their story as we know it
For on that day they found a way into another world
And entered into a new life, a life of light and sound
One of joy and laughter, and of sweet food and warm shelter
A life where they found peace everlasting
A fantastical place you might say
Somewhere that could never exist...but it does
They found it, and they live there evermore
One may scoff, and call this fantasy
For even though they found it, we will not
As we are we could not see
..Though we may see proof of its existence
There are many things even in this world
Though they are not seen, are plenty real
When the wind blows, whispers, and caresses it is very real
When a small thing, unseeable to our eyes, takes the life of a child
We know the disease was there, but how?
Because they are felt, and if we trust our hearts we know
We know of things we would not know of otherwise
So when I say that they found this world, know that it is true
They found it after leaving this one, on that day the fire came
They found a life in that world...
....after losing it in ours













Critiques
While there is always room for improvement in anything we do, I really loved this!
It was simple and beautiful, and even though there was a tragedy, there was also a calming peace. I liked the style you used and the picture you painted in my mind. It can help those, who truly look and want to find something wonderful, to believe in something more.
This is my favorite of your things so far in the writing area! An excellent work of feeling!

2. When a small thing, unseable to our eyes, takes the life of a child - "unseeable"
3. They found it after leaving this one, on that day the fire came.

Honestly, this is just incredible.
