Hi Jordan. May i make a suggestion?
Drop "again" from the second line and "the" from the last.
Personally, i feel the imagery becomes more profound and wider scale.
Quite a modern uptake on haiku.

Hi Jordan, must have a look at this Haiku, don't know anything about it - looks like you don't have to write much, but what you do is very meaningful, nice one Jeff
