Descent
Descent is not a collapse. It is a deliberate return, a controlled lowering of altitude after the sky has done its work. You come back to the ground slowly, intentionally, carrying the clarity you earned in the thin air. The world rises to meet you with all its familiar weight, but you are not the same person who left it. Gravity reaches for you with the confidence of an old habit, expecting you to slip back into the shapes you once held, but altitude has altered your outline. You feel the pull, but you do not mistake it for belonging.

Lovely poem, it really captures the feeling of sleepless nights. https://italianbrainrot-clicker.io/
Reading around to learn acrostic poetry. Excellent job on this, it's exceptional. Nicely Done!!
Amazing poem! Your word choice is pristine!
I like this a lot, I think it's my favourite eclipse poem 😁
Oooo, I'd love for this to happen hehehehe. Loved your Acrostic!
Quite the invitation! Very cleverly done! Such restlessness captured in the early lines and then a halting close.
It was so gently pleading until the Evermore.
Fantastic poem!
