It's a Beautiful World

The world around a little girl
swirls into an obscure shape
The world around a little girl
becomes what we all think is fake
she covers her round eyes
with hands wrinkled
for she has been in the rain
the pitter patter hitting her cold head
avoiding the sight of her mother
or what is left
the hearse veers ahead leaving the burden
the slick black coffin
the smooth black case
that holds her mother
or what's left
she only sees the dark
not realising that it's caused
by her small hands
covering her round eyes
the rain slowly recedes
relinquishing its grasp on the day
permitting the sun to shine
where it is least desired
the little girl allows
her hands to move
from her little face
letting her round eyes
see the sun
despite the warm tears
dripping from her face
she smiles at the beauty
of the alien bright objects rays
reflecting off the water
upon her mother's coffin
a dark gloves hand
rests itself on her shoulder
the body to which the hand belongs
she is unaware
only noticing the beauty of the bright sun
and the tragedy of the day
she absorbs the sight with her round eyes
then remembers why she is at the beautiful place
upon remembering she covers her round eyes
yet again
and the world twists into obscurity
yet again

This is very imaginative and
This is very imaginative and poignant. There are a couple of typos that need correcting. Spelling: of 'Hearse' for example. Also, the use of the word 'sun' at the end seems a bit repetitive, could that be changed a little for something else. With a little extra care I think this poem could be really good - just a little work on helping it flow better. I really liked the poem though.
