    Wow, this poem is really beautiful and surprisingly deep 🤔 The imagery it gives of the stars vanishing and the colorful mist coming in is simply stunning. I had to reread it several times to truly appreciate it 😍

    Can anyone help me understand what the five-colored mist might represent? I have a feeling theres some deeper meaning there 🌈

    By the way, I just can't get over the powerful phrase "the stars vanished" it's so simple yet impactful 🌌✨
