Benjamin

An endless dark Boundless for eternity Started with but a spark And magnified into glorious vastness With great bodies of flame and light Ringed with odd assortments of rock and gas All connected, yet separated by immense distance What mysteries lie untouched? What treasures undiscovered? All that is and ever will be In an ever expanding realm Beauty lies at every corner Yet life is far and scattered It does not flourish in the vastness Instead it nestles in the warm corners Growing ever stronger Eventually it will reach out Explore the wonders laid before it It will venture into the unknown Leaving behind the speck that birthed it Life will seek to master nature It will attempt to capture brilliance Sometimes it will succeed But it is a fool's dream In time they will learn There is no mastery of this greatness There is no discovery of all the secrets held here There will never be life in every beautiful corner It is an endless world Boundless, beautiful, and expanding Only a fool would dream to know it all Perhaps I am a fool
