I like this write. It allows for thought and interpretation. Starts out well written and does not fall short as so many do. Very nice poem.

This is genius! : The light spiraled through my body, flaming every deadened spot... - I want to see it as transedental experience. hope you really mean that!

......truly a lovely view....you described it so well....and the poets notes leaves us pondering a great question....truly our immediate setting changes us....let's say we are with an astronaut in a space ship.......could we imagine looking upon the earth from afar.... or looking upon a distant star......our life would be changed forever.....truly enjoyed this beautiful poem...

This is lovely, profound even. I love that you touched on the idea of how space affects our creativity. Indeed it does, I suppose that is why so many poets go on nature walks and so on. I also love how you compared yourself to the surrounding trees, being rooted in wonder. Something else I thought about whilst reading this is the presence of the river, which I later realized was the Mississippi river. Which to me is interesting because it means we see the same river but in such drastically different surroundings. In my area, Louisiana, the land is low elevation, the river becomes swamp-like, the vegetation is different, the climate is different. so if I were to write a poem near the same river, chances are it would be very different! Immediate setting plays a huge role, where you live always shows up in your writing eventually. So yes, you've definitely hit the nail on the head with this one! An amazing write as always ^-^ ~Nika
