I love this one! I don't think I can explain it though- ah well, I'll try: I think part of it is the fact that I am an astronomy fan, and part of it being that the location you describe cannot exist in the physical world, cannot be pinpointed, cannot be found.
Which gives it that awesome magical quality. I like the trancendence(right word?) in the "million miles from Here/Anywhere" and the everything/nothing paradox.
In response to some of the reviews I read- I have no opinion on the I'll/shall difference, but about the other two:
I think the capital words are not overdone, and are in fact very important where they are, as they emphasize certain objects.
And... the last line might flow better if it was split up, that is true, but picturing it in my mind, it would just lose whatever it has. It *might* be done better, but as it is, it is a very good way to end the poem.
Just my (a bit more than) two cents. Hope I didn't bore ya!

this is beautiful... i like the way you emphasize certain words with capital letters, but you don't overdo it. wonderful imagery too.
if i may make some suggestions: in stanza three, you use the words "i'll" and "shall" - try to stick with either the modern or archaic form, not both. (i'd change "shall" to "will," since "I'll" fits the rhythm of the first line so nicely.) also, i would find another word for "liquid-y," which sounds choppy and doesn't fit the rest of the poem. finally, i love the imagery in last line, but i think it would flow a little better if you divided it into separate lines.
once again, beautiful poem, and thank you so much for your review.

I love the falling up to heaven line, gorgeous! This poem reminds of dreams that I could fly... It makes me think that there may be more to clouds than condensating water, wonderful! It made my evening.
