a thousand natural lights within the blackness
I wouldn't count by hand
couldn't
orders of magnitude higher
naked eye reality lower
poetry truth right on the ball
leave my stars to me

space poetry! how could i not love this?! :)))

and it, it just works so well -
from "a thousand natural lights within the blackness" to "leave my stars to me" lyrical but precise (at least to me!) and i wish i'd thought of 'orders of magnitude higher' - great sci-fi style line!

Ah, yes, "orders of magnitude higher"! It naturally had to come to mind when I stole a bit of Hamlet's phrasing - the thousand natural shocks - and married it with the view of stars from my front step when I wandered barefoot outside for a few moments of windy calm. :-)

quite a moment!
inner space and outer space eh?
and yes, the stars are lovely tonight :)
