The Child and The Universe

Reminiscing the Universe in me,
That held earth in its loving embrace at a time..
The child in me now, weeps.

Wailing, to be held and assured,
Insecure and frightened,
She cries herself until the lull of sleep takes over.

Upon awaking though,
All she sees again is the dark
It doesn't seem to go away!
And her tears start flowing again unbidden.

With outstretched arms,
Waiting to be lifted in a warm swoop of affection- the reassuring embrace she remembers so fondly,
She cannot help but keep crying in despair..
Waiting for the Universe in me to awaken~
