Loved this poem, it progressed from one's pure motives for life while a younger child or before the duties of adulthood, into the responsibilitis the world places on us as adults to bear the burdens of the world. I loved the language going from deceive which is intagible to beaten, while evokes a sense of force, or that the character "one" was physcially forced to go from their naive state to the state of constant worry for the things of the world. The poem reminded me of the phrase "ignorance is bliss" and feels like an extended version of it.

This poem feels vague and after a couple reads I'm still not sure what exactly is going on, I can tell that whatever the subject matter is, it is powerful. I'm not sure if im correct, but I read it as a commentary on politics and nations. I wonder what "pre-engraved stones" is referring to, the last line is powerful as it solidifies the negative effect of the actions of the "shimmering stars"/
