This sonnet is so beautiful, in fact, that I should like you to submit it (along with up to 4 other sonnets of your choice) to me, if you would like it published in the Winter issue of SONNETTO POESIA (Canada) ISSN 1705-4524. I am seriously also considering also reviewing this sonnet along with others in the Special Christmas Vallance Review, Poetry Life and Times (UK), where I am focussing on contemporary sonnets related to:

1. Christmas or 2. Peace or 3. Winter or similar such topics.

Thank you, my Friend

I love these phrases:
"the harmony of a silent song."
...and
" but i am not alone
here. there are creatures more alive in peat
moss than all your cities"
...and
"among
the mountains the sun lives at night, and sees
into my dreams."

Beautiful, haunting phrases and poem! Thanks!
