Nice use of imagery and not dependent on rhyme. I would suggest that you might want to consider that in poetry, less is more. In other words, if you don’t absolutely need a word, don’t use it. In this lovely little poem, removing the words (a bit) in the first line, the word (and) in the second line, the word (indeed and still – changing meet to meeting at the horizon) in the fourth line, the word (the and the) in the fifth line, would tighten the poem, giving it even greater impact. I think you really understand the essence of poetry and simply, like all poets, have to go back to your poem and do the job of editing. I will be considering your poem for featuring on a future poetladykatz Instagram post. Thank you so much for sharing your work with me, Susan
