Center of the Universe

 I remember when 

you were the center 

of my Universe 

and I the first of the 

new worlds you would 

come to explore 

I remember when 

you were the center 

of my Universe 

and all else spun in 

lazy concentric circles 

I remember when

you were the center 

of my Universe 

mystic, magical and 

more real than any -

thing ever been 

or envisioned 

I remember when 

you were the touchstone 

of my Universe - dazzling 

dancing in a galaxy of your own -

my forever legacy  

sparkling beyond all reason 

I remember when 

you were 

the center of

my Universe 

your future shooting 

celestial starbursts 

to constellations with 

your signature 

 

I remember foretelling 

you as as the center of 

your unborn babies’ 

 Universe - 

carrying sagas of the past 

forward evermore 

through time and space 

I remember 

I remember 

the light that

came with you 

that shone from you 

the light 

that was 

You.
