No need to panic. I think you did a good job with the poem. The only part that confuses me (and this is probably because I'm not very good at reading poetry in the first place) is the line: "the flight is our hope, he can damn and he can bless." Who is he? It doesn't seem to fit the idea of the star in its role of guiding light, but I think that is me not understanding and not a problem with the poem (I did mention a few hundred times that I had trouble with poetry when I took English in school....bad news since I was an English major in college). P.S. Quickly I say that I majored in English literature (19th century), so don't expect expertise in grammar or spelling...we didn't study the structure of the langauge at all, alas. Off topic but somehow related in my mind: this reminds me of a children's story I like very much called "The North Star" by Peter Reynolds: http://www.fablevision.com/northstar/read.html which is on a similar theme, I think. I based one of my early graphics on it because I think this idea is such an important one for a creative person...so challenging and yet so necessary, I think, for each of us to find their own way instead of letting someone else choose it for us. Thank you for sharing your lovely vision. I enjoyed it very much.
