Day 5 poem
I am offering this night to you. From my child’s world, I saw the universe coming towards me, larger than any earth thing, a thousand lights in a row, coming in the summer night.
I remember I was not afraid, I did not run away. I lay on the night grass and watched, feeling the awe of the coming, the unknown of it, the enormity. But I was not afraid. It came to all of us, caring in its infinite unknown. The lights.
