Hidden Horizons

Whether blessings or cursed,
    There's an innate need to know of our
        Existence through time and space.
Where cause and effect are
    Constantly interrogated, to extract
        Answers that confound and embrace.

Our explorations have not been
    Empty, yielding clues to the puzzles
        That we find.
As we seek the smallest components,
    That are the building blocks of all 
        Creation in our mind.

We have uncovered some directions
    In dimension, as spatial and temporal
        Frames are construed.
While we briefly gaze at the quantum
    Fields, looking to harvest that crop
        That has accrued.

This journey may travel to the infinite,
    Leaving us in the dark with matters
        That remain void.
Yet if our progress can propel us 
    Forward, we may envision and 
        Comprehend what's been deployed.
