Reassurance
by Elaine P
In the fear-filled time
between dusk and nightfall
Whoopee awakes,
enters my space,
purrs reassurance,
“it’s all right,
the night cannot
hurt you.â€Â
Nighttime is her territory
a time for awakening,
for joy and exploration,
yet she senses
the human’s fear,
fills the emptiness
with warmth and music;
she does not judge.
Though she cannot
see the stars,
know the vast
Universal Plan,
she offers love
in equal measure
to the love I find
in Poetry.
