Thank you J. Flattered. Song is universal.

Work this out. I’m Welsh first, British second and my beautiful Dad was English. We’re a complicated bunch across the Atlantic. I stand against the heinous Empire and her jingoistic bs. Other than that, I’m very easy going. Lol. This song / anthem is central to my poetic heart. Subtitles are provided!

Thank you – or ‘Diolch’ as some say in my homeland. I’m just a metaphor whore really, who finds catharsis on the release of life onto keyboard.

Beauty recognized is beauty shared. Thanks for seeing it!

Thanks so much, Chris! I’m glad you enjoyed the imagery. The poem was my attempt to capture that exact mix of awe and wonder the night sky inspires. It was actually based on a recurring dream I have. I appreciate you taking the time to read it.

Thank you for this beautiful observation. You’ve captured the exact feeling I was trying to express. That sense of feeling so small in the face of the universe, but at the same time, experiencing a powerful explosion within the heart. I love your comparison to the Northern Lights. I’m glad the poem resonated with you.

Haha, I’ll keep my eyes open! That would make quite the sequel to this poem. Thank you

Damian, Thank you for the warm welcome. I appreciate you too, my friend.
