One quibble I do have, however, is with the simile: "like the delusions of constellations." How are constellations deluded?I was trying to refer to the fact that constellations are a product of our imagination, brought about by the fact that we instinctively see patterns where in reality there are none. But you're right that as a simile the meaning is much too strained LOL
In its current form the poem is serviceable, but it obviously needs some rewriting. Thanks for the critique!

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
