There's a great mix of weary hope and hard-won pessimism running through this. It never contradicts itself. It's simply a beautifully painted scene given weight by your honesty. The thoughts running through your mind in this are unfiltered, unedited and that includes a wonderful mix of joy and sadness. This is wonderful piece of writing.

Again, wonderfully honest: as I delve into your library, I am amazed at so many honest beautiful poems in one bunch held! I think most of yours are sure going to land up in my favourites :)

A night that is simultaneously bright and oppressive. Very visual.
