Beautiful Space

Behold the sky and it's infinite grace!
A clear night blessed by a window to space,
revealing the heavens and the moon's gazing face,
millions of stars and asteroids in race.

Looking upon you and feeling so small
among planets and galaxies and networks of stars
below all of the lights, illuminating the halls
of our imagination from stars to enthrall

No telling which star yet still remains
for their light still reflects and seen without strain
their distance so great but their light all array
for even past death, the light shines without feign

To think we are of unique intelligence
yet forced to acknowledge our own ignorance,
though we endeavor to understand the physical sense
with physics and chemistry, mathematics and science

A universe so great, a road without stops
its massiveness eternal, infinite yet locked
a constituent of a complex system and ops
a member of greatness and all of it's pomps
