wow, this is so beautiful, even if trading one old life for one new life is truly unfair but it helps to restore and bring anew to our world, brilliant.

wow, i really like this imagery, too! (although you must realize i am almost completely useless when it comes to poetry...) really strong pictures ("silent as a fox", "indigo cloak of night", "ashes and dust in a pine box"), that resonate powerfully in the mind. lovely work!

I really like the imagry here and the story behind the poem is interesting. I loved the line, "Now in the cosmos... stardust,". This is really good, I like this a lot.
