Empty.
Where?
Is there
anyone
else?
Alone.
Any others
out there?
Unanswerable!
Estimated 
two trillion 
galaxies 
in the 
visible 
universe.
Perhaps
multiples
more
beyond 
our view.
Each housing 
billions
of stars.
For many,
the light
we now see
departed
billions
of years 
ago.
Before
our sun
was born.
Though 
all the
light
we see
currently 
may be
dead.
What’s 
happening 
there now
we won’t
know for
billions
of years.
They currently 
could be 
teaming
with life,
but we’ll
never know.
We’ll be
gone.
Are we alone
in the universe?
Doubt it.

I just can’t believe we are alone…I mean we feel alone but that’s due to not being able to currently reach out to any other actively living planet. But yeah, it’s far to huge an expanse to think we are the only ones. Brilliant write as ever. How I wish we could see the present rather than the past. What a total tease the universe is :)
