the universe

The universe, it stretches far,
Beyond our wildest dreams and fears.
A place of wonder, a place of awe,
But to us, it remains a maze.

We try to grasp its secrets deep,
To unravel all its cosmic threads.
Yet, each time we think we've found a key,
Another mystery is revealed instead.

The vastness of the universe
Is beyond our human ken.
We're but specks of dust in this great whole,
Incomprehensible and thin.

We gaze upon the stars above
And marvel at their twinkling dance.
Each one a sun, each one a world,
A story waiting to be told.

We send our probes out into the void,
To seek and to explore.
But even as they travel light-years,
They only scratch the cosmic floor.

The universe is infinite,
And we, mere mortals, are small.
Our minds and our understanding
Are dwarfed by its endless wall.

We may never fully comprehend
The vastness of the universe and its design.
But that should not deter us from our quest
To know and to discover what lies ahead.

For even in our ignorance,
We find beauty and grace.
From the tiniest particle to the grandest galaxy,
The universe holds wonders for you and me.

So let us keep exploring,
For in the end, perhaps,
We'll find that the universe is simply us.
