A Poem – Space

This space, this hole I fill

It’s mine to share but not to give

My imprint began fresh, grew straight, but wanes with each passing of the sun

I divide my space, my soul, giving love freely to daughters and sons forward

Until I fade like the darkest star into the black

And with her eyes closed and her mind still,

I will smile with the ones that now fill my space
