1. I loved it, Balroop! A fantastic complement to the photo. And this verse—wow!—stole my heart:

   peep deep
   see the shimmer
   of blue that doesn’t match yours
   but holds unspeakable secrets
   stars know.

   1. Thank you Mae, there wasn’t much in the picture, so I had to concentrate on the blue. I am glad it turned out well. 😊
