Musing On Space

Could there be vast realms of unknown nebulae Beyond the farthest reaches of space exploration, Only distant patches of gray density in distant sky Giving discussion to theories of unending cogitation? This expanding universe appears to go on forever In space and time beyond our beleaguered experience, Encouraging us to think we are more than clever Who postulate on the fringes of common sense. Have we hosted strange visitors from that outer space Unbeknownst except in myriad tales of lore From those who witness in various and sundry place Eerie phenomena and UFOs never seen before? We might suppose, despite unconfirmed evidence, That taken altogether something seems amiss Some purportedly real but have no precedence, And most of us do not know what to think of this! For sure, the universe is vast and holds the key, Perhaps, to the future of every living thing on earth It behooves us to explore, to boldly go and see What lies beyond our horizons, our place of birth.
