The Universe

The human spirit was made for this place
Distance greater than quadrillions of miles
Yet we reach to the stars with open hand -
Think of them as neighbors with eager smiles

We find our peace in the trillions of stars
And the tranquil space that lays in between
But,oh, it is the most violent place
Nothing else like it has ever been seen


Raging star infernos that never fade

Our universe and we are not afraid
