The ground is damp on the bare of my knees The grass, a rectangle of green A Shade lighter than the rest I can still see the lines of fresh It states only your given Not the one he seemed so driven To make you wear “Cun- Shangri-La” I can only hope, Peace, and strength to cope I went to the other place. Looking for a trace His mother was there But didn’t respond When I asked where I see your faces In my minds eye Smiling Happy Taken Lost “Cun- Shangri-La” My only hope. That and peace. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

"The grass, a rectangle of green A Shade lighter than the rest" Susan, those lines just pulled me in -- great lines. Don't know what the background is here, but I feel the "longing."  ....jo |

Thank you both. If I knew how to load a picture, I would and then this that I write, would be explained.. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Susan, This is awesome writing, evoking a sadness in me. The entire poem brilliantly written. "The ground is damp on the bare of my knees The grass, a rectangle of green A Shade lighter than the rest I can still see the lines of fresh It states only your given Not the one he seemed so driven To make you wear" |

My eyes are brimfilled after reading this and watching the u-tube video. How sad. I join you and the families in prayerful hope that the perpetrator(s) will be nabbed and brought to justice. It'll never bring back the couple but at least let loved ones breathe a little easier. God bless each of you. Rae |

This was nicely written. I hope it helps a little to put them to rest. "Late" |
