Having Known Some Beauty

Having Known Some Beauty
 
Yellow stars in grass oceans
trembling together
and you must look once more 
before you go 
Look once more before you leave
look up
look up with silver tears
while below a child's bare feet 
feel cool on mornings ground:
There where those yellow flowers 
earlier washed in fallen dew: 
and you knowing some beauty 
will leave your world

Interesting combination of thoughts, Declan. You are the second Declan, I've met; the other spells his name Dekklan. Children make the most of the moments don't they. Thanks for sharing.
