It's as if the universe were one incredible organism, which it is -
and we are all "star stuff" which we are. But I waste so many words in saying so dryly what you say so poetically. |

Wonderful write Asa. I love the line that says "they never interrupt me as I give my point of view".
This is very thought provoking.

| The imagery is wonderful. The picture is such a compliment to your words. The mark of a good poet is for the reader to see what the writer sees, and hear what the writer hears. You have accomplished just that. |

| This poem is profound and has so much depth! It's wonderful that Asa can find beauty and comfort in something which is seen on a nightly basis and taken for granted by many. It's special if one looks beyond the outer surface and can see the infinite beauty of the cosmos .Prison life can be hard and cruel at times. I'm glad he has the depth and perception to look beyond and let his soul touch the endless magnatude of heavenly spheres. Please keep sharing his poems with us. I believe they can make a difference in someones life....M |

| Joyce, Asa has discovered that the stars are the ears of Heaven. Communicating with God. Men may turn a deaf ear to our pleas, but the stars never abandon our needs for ethereal wisdom. Twinkling in response. Asa's work shows wisdom has overtaken whatever errors he made in the past. My wishes for peace, joy and love to both of you. Jon Michael |

The simplicity of your words betray the complexity of emotions that are wrought by confinement. I can relate to the sense of escape that is enjoyed by marvelling at the night sky that belongs to you no less that anyone else outside the wall. A talented write Asa, would love to read more.

| Sometimes we have to be still to communicate with He who listens completely, caringly, and without judgment. Lot’s of us have been in a time and place when it seemed as though there was no one to listen... that’s when we must realize, a line is always open to the One you can always connect with; the One whose ears are all about us, even in the stars! Very well written, I love it!! |

Your expressions are invigorating and cause great thought in a pleasant way; this has good complexity, and good simplicity. It is a warming feel, and is visually stunning. Great writing skills ...
