you have a lovely voice.

This is not your best, for several reasons.

It's very repetitious, and although it works in some poems, this one just smacks of redundancy. The most explicit phrase is "trickle gently into dark," nut there are more subtle phrases that don't work when repeated--"into night", "the ... arms", etc. It just sort of makes the whole poem stale.

I also feel that the man shouldn't speak. His words are so lyrical that it almost distracted me.
my world isn't only beautiful
it is so far away



The most important thing is to preserve the world we live in. Unless people understand and learn about our world, habitats, and animals, they won't understand that if we don't protect those habitats, we'll eventually destroy ourselves.
