Eagle Nebula-also is known as the Star Queen Nebula

i\Pillars of Creation-in the Eagle Nebula, they're towering tendrils

which forms stars

The streets of solitude is a place in the mind
where rippling water flows
and the wings of butterflies are painted with serenity
   to float on mists of air
it's where music is felt in my soul
as I travel the terrestrial path
towards the twilight of tranquility
seeking the peaceful spaces
to free my mind from this world of confusion
it's the soft grass I chose to lay on
    that line the rippling stream
allowing my eyes to touch the celestial body
as my imagination soars to the Eagle Nebula
where stars are formed from the pillars of creation
   far from human foibles and follies
where I can release my soul to find isolation
from this spinning ball called Earth
   it's where I can be alone in solitude

Dear frederick, a very resonating poem that flows just in such eloquence. I love the opening and i agree too with what youv said there and how youv expressed all here and the eagle nebula was new for me too and as a lover of constellations and stars was good to read that mentioned in the poem and now i see the explanation too: i agree streets of solituds is one in the mind. Theres an ethereal touch to this soulfully moving poem. Every word woven here speaks to my soul! Thank you for sharing. Congratulations on your well deserved win
