Oooo - this is tantalising, Steven. The imagery is brilliant and uplifting, like walking 8 miles high, given wings by the mood and tone... but the rhyming scheme and metre just give it that extra dimension and I feel I should recognise it and be able to give it a name somewhere - is it a particular kind of sonnet? You give me an appetite for spending more time and energy on getting into reading and (trying to write) formally composed poetry; as you so amply demonstrate here, it doesn't have to be confining and restrictive at all! Bless you and thank you - love the sentiments expressed especially! Kate xx
