I know how you love celestial themes. This is really wonderful, John, each verse highlighting with a different planetary orb. Love the last line about terra "who should know better." A little touch of humor. Congratulations on your winning placement!

You are so right about the celestial themes, Sam. Glad you liked that one line, it was the very line I was considering leaving out, for some reason. Appreciate you and your words. Many blessings this week, my friend ~ John

Thanks for the placement and the great contest, Edward! I was told by a very kind Souper that the judge isn't able to see the picture, so I typed in the words below it so you wouldn't see a blank screen... I made that mistake once!
