Such an interesting poem Love the format of increasing syllable count (probably a name for that). This is clearly an exaltation of a wonderful woman and apparently one who seems unreachable to some extent. It appears she motivates a desire to be more than a man to achieve her heights, a good thought. I'm not sure I follow all the symbolism here (and maybe that speaks to my ignorance). As an Angel of grace, I wonder what the grace is she provides. And I'm not sure I follow why stars stop falling when she is near, or why they fell initially. But there's a good chance as a true left-brainer I'm missing the meaning here.
Thanks for a vivid picture of desire that is beyond our reach.

Comment from Jay Squires
I am impressed, Lance. I've thought of you as an inspired story-teller, a playwright who has the pulse of America's social problems. But until today, I hadn't thought of you as a poet. I'll have to look up what Etheree Poetry is, but one doesn't need to know categories to recognize poetic coruscation, like your subject who is so bright she blots out "falling stars."
