A Haiku on Distant Longing and Celestial Echoes

Stars tremble, so far,
lost voices weave through cold light,
night aches with their song.

You remind me of the style of Kavafis. You are a very good, inspired poet.
A poem that will explain why the stars shimmer so. Good work.
Not only do you excel in poems which speaks much about the dark parts within, you also do well at creating an air of wonder. The way you give the stars human qualities, human experiences of trembling… when we read ‘lost voices’ we think of the souls out there somewhere, we think of ourselves, the way we like to hide behind the night. Then when it’s day time we pretend everything is fine. I also like the cover photo, very calming and nice to look at.
"The Calm Night Sky." In this poem, I explore the serene beauty of the night and the peace it brings amidst life's chaos. The calmness of the night sky serves as a metaphor for finding solace and reflection in our fast-paced world. I hope this piece encourages you to pause, breathe, and appreciate the quiet moments that often go unnoticed. I welcome your thoughts and reflections! Best wishes, Jason
