The black expansive depths, I plumb, Over blue marble, the sea of suns, Under a tapestry, dripping bright, Canticle written on endless night, Heaven, touch of the ages, come.

Awww ... you are VERY sweet, Andrea, thank you so much. I was feeling sorry for myself, I guess, lol, (rather immature), but I think it was because this one was so special to me ... not everyone likes the same ones I do, though, and that's life! You are very kind to give me the boost, Dear Friend - it means a great deal coming from someone I so admire. :-) <3

Awesome acrostic, Greg! If we don't see this on the winners' list something is wrong! And thank you kindly for reading my dribbles!

Thanks so much, my friend - it did NOT make the list, sadly ... and I agree that there's something wrong with that.

WOW, this is a very lyrical acrostic and one of my favorites I have seen in this contest!

Thanks so very much, Andrea - I'm so pleased you like this one! Your opinion is very important to me, as you are one of my favs here at PS! This was a lot of fun ... I haven't done many acrostics, but I plan to do more! :-) <3

Thanks, John - It's just a man standing under the stars, my friend ... wishing he could reach out and feel them, and hoping he does so when he leaves this world. :-)
