It's obvious that you're describing a journey in space here, but I also have a feeling that the words you use in your poem mean much more. The way you describe the earth in all Her gracefulness and the way you philosophize about life, makes me think that this is also a spiritual journey. I'm not sure whether I interpreted this right as I found it hard to concentrate on the central message of this poem. There are many details (such as the numbers) which say nothing to me, but do add a realistic touch to the poem. It could also be me just looking for too much into this poem, only the writer knows. For now, it certainly had made me ponder.

Yes, you've caught me out: the poem is a double allegory. On one level it is about personal growth in my own lifetime, as seen through a dream sequence. On another level, which I did not intend at first, it is about the psychological evolution of the species.

When I looked on the length of this poem, I thought awwwwwww.. It would be so bad :p
But hey.. It turned to be very very very good!
There were so many descriptive, intermixing details that gave beautiful depth to the poem.. The numbers tightened these terrestrial and space images and made the piece more real.
And it was a smart piece that was written for a certain double message.
One the first level, it was used to describe the evolution of species.. And it was so obvious!
The second level, somehow hidden, I think it was intended to describe a very personal journey.. And this is what made it unique and original!
