In the Silence of the Vacuum of Space

...so as the universe expands I’m left at its existence end Uncertain of my place in it To keep aspiring in spite... Appeasing it in a father figure The sun - the lit end of a cigar Feeling like an abandoned child I let my imagination go wild... I write with powerful imagery Something like atomic energy Self-assurance that my life does matter Hoping that someday it’ll read my letters I’m wondering where and when it all begun When or if it’ll all ever get unspun So with pen and paper I give it a face In the silence of the vacuum of space 08-13-2015 For Contest: John lawless's DON'T FIGHT IT.....WRITE IT!!
