After reflecting on this poem, I decided an effective way to enrich the aesthetic quality of it would be to change up the font to provide diversity as well as to emphasize some lines more than others. I believe the music contributes a beautiful, calming aural element to the poem. Coupled with the changing images, the music also allows the poem to flow in a way that reminds me of a river, which also reinforces the images of nature that I incorporated. Additionally, I attempted to give more concrete visuals in the text of the poem to show the sort of beauty I have internalized when filled with awe and love for and by the creator of all things living.
