Living far away from citylights, the sky for sure is a diamond to watch. The stars seem to be hanging in different levels, some close and some far distant.

A wonderful poem, I can understand the emotions you are going through facing the wonder of Nature. Thank you for sharing it.

Thanks Bill and the 'young lady' for your comments, I was beginning to think it was going to disappear unnoticed. I do look forward to all the 'true poets' for posting their comments as it gives so much encouragement to such as myself.

Your point about comments is interesting, when I was laid up with flu I had more time than uisual to spend in front of the computer - it is truly astonishing how quickly this poetry board can move, odd times there can be 20 or more poems added in less than a couple of hours.

The result is that a lot of poetry gets missed and disappears without trace. I must confess that I don't often look beyond page 1 of the poetry board, it's just a question of time, it is almost impossibe to read every poem every day. Add comments to poems we read and so on.

Basically, how much attention of poems are accorded is to some degree down to luck.

Kind regards

Bill

Okay then, I will do my very best to become a "true poet" in order for you to look forward to "my" comments. Meanwhile I will enjoy the luxury of being called a "young woman" keep looking at the stars in the dark sky and pray to the man in the moon, he will either make me a true poet, or perhaps a young woman again.....nah, I am tired....I'll be pleased with the English Dictionary invented for Poets.

I find watching the changes in the sky, early morning or twilight, make me feel at one with nature....something I haven't done much of lately, and I miss it....thanks for showing me the way grandad...Niah

Niah it would be something else to truely capture the miracle of nature in words, I confess to being only 'mortal'.
Silentspring you do yourself a disservice my love, your every word to me is 'poetry'.
Thank you all once more.

Wow--I really love --This Poem!
