gazing upon the expanses
. of the great night sky
our endless wonder
. at the mosaic sea of stars
is inexplicably bridled
. by an intangible feeling that
the abyss separating
. our world and distant realms
forms a chasm of black emptiness
. meant to isolate different beings
are we imprisoned on this earth
. destined to stay indefinitely
watching other worlds pass by
. time and time again until
time can no longer describe
. our passivity to their passing
through a window of obscurity
. permitting only imagination to
penetrate its dark tinted display
. of anonymous secrecy
and us the victims of our own nature
. able to imagine but not to reach out
and satisfy our insatiable curiosity
. we begin to realize the paradoxical
plight of human existence
. as our seemingly powerful earthly
dwelling is humbled by our
. temporary and insignificant
presence in the vastness of
. the galaxy and the cosmos
so we are fated to be
. mighty yet powerless
an existence woven in
. a tessellated fabric of
captivating constellations and
. starry specks mirroring
the very state of our planet
. our world our reality
brimming with wonder and
. glimmering with hope
