Human Limitations

Ancient maps, streaked with stars, charted paths unknown. But oceans are vast, a whispered warning: the world too wide. Stars explode, a symphony of light, a universe in flux. But what is hidden behind that cosmic cloud? Our minds yearned, but our vision blurred. Humanity delves, with sharpened minds, seeking to unlock nature's hidden code. Yet the universe whispers in quanta: a mystery endures. Concrete canyons climb for the heavens, our aspirations are vast. Yet, the earth gasps, her lungs constricted, our impact lingers. Our minds reach, but grasp at phantoms, caught in the cycle. To create and destroy, then recreate, the endless dance. To see ourselves in the starry void, is to recognize, both vast potential, and finite flaws. For even stars have a final burn. We are creatures of yearning and longing, ever searching, forever bound, to the dance of the universe.
