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
