Across the Darkness

ACROSS THE DARKNESSWhen the stars exploded andthe splintered pieces of sunlighthurtled across the darknessit created the wonder of a miracleand nowfar away on the dot of blue earthas it rotates around the hot red sunspinning on its axisa physics masterpieceI hold my dearest child in the stillness of the nightand nurse heragainst my warm skin. I look downinto her blue eyes and seeall the universe. She is the worldand all our hopes and dreams.
