In the absence of loved one, or in the case of unrequited love, we look to the beauty and immensity of nature for comfort, and also to understand ourselves. Just like all living beings, we seek fulfillment.

I'd like it to be me the words strive for, but i guess the sky's the next best thing! Seriously, this was another colorful presentation that lured me into the gentleness and beauty of your words.

I love how each part of nature became a part of him. And then she made it about herself. Under the sky we share the stars. This was a fabulous poem about love and wanting. Gretchen

I really enjoyed the exploration of different senses and different forces of nature here. The striking visual images also powerfully convey the longing felt by your narrator. I liked the variation in colour from line to line which depicted a gradual development or fluctuation, replicating the movement from motion to stillness and from sea to wind to sky. Beautiful writing as always!

Well that was quite beautiful my multi-talented friend. I really love that bottom picture you found. I thought it was a person under there but upon close inspection it looks like some type of art. Magnificent.

I loved the repetition pounding the point home.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This poetry of yours has touched my heart. It is beautiful beyond words. I'm not a poet, but I do love to read good poetry, and this one surpasses most I have read. The artwork is stunning.
