The Universe
It's all around us
Constantly expanding
Planets and stars superfluous
All while we are standing
Calculations have been done by men in robes
And we recently sent our own probes
It is like grasping an ocean
We can never achieve such a notion
Trillions of stars dance in the night sky
BOOM KRAKOOM as they explode and die
Then there are the dark panthers
Hiding in all sorts of manners
They consume the galaxy
Yet all they do is add to the majesty
Then there are the canvases
Richly filled with vibrant color
All of which serve as balances
To the void's dolor
Nebulas that breathe life into stars
Through beautifully vicious quasars
We come back to Earth
Our curiosity not in dearth
Our gibbosity always in grandiosity
The light of the fire is a sight
As is our passion for flight
So we must ask ourselves, how will it all conclude
Will it be through the flash of heat
Or an ascension so many alude
In the end we gaze at you and ask
Is this the beginning of the end?

Space has always been a mystery to us. I personally have always been fascinated by its magnitude. Composed of galaxies, supernovas, nebulas, and black holes some of our best fiction is found from the cosmos. A person can't help but those themselves in such an ocean.
