How it blows the mind
Infinity’s elusive reach
Grasping one’s cosmic place
Remains
A fruitless labor

Bounded by circumscribed perceptions
Yet ever curious
Pushing dimensionality’s limits
How one yearns
For Understanding

What is the point after all
Of squandering star-studded nights
In contemplation’s abyss
If one’s seeking labors
Simply end
In stymied pursuit

Infinity’s expanse
Hovers beyond comprehension
Where beginning
Where ending
Ever-pulling opposition

Why should it matter
Why does it haunt
Could the answer lie
Just beyond
Our next celestial jaunt?

Cosmic Sensuality not governed by even numbers...star stud and moon nymphs hedonists thankful for infinity...

the answer has always been within us ... it's a matter of realization and acceptance that there is always more to come ...

methinks your last stanza sums it up well! I believe
we are a people who have adventure imprinted in our dna
and what is over the next horizon will always tempt us
to find ways to get there. At least I hope so,being a
cosmic traveller myself!;-)

Carolyn
The mysteries of the Universe are inscrutable and unfathomable..
The Creator made it that way , so that we mere mortals would turn to the Father Sky for all the answers .
