Slowly darkness

Creeps over the land
Hiding
Signs of life
Gazing silently
Into the Universe
Questions
Float through the air
Limitless
Without end
Is anyone there
Silence
Profound answers me
Questions
Unanswered reverberate
Inside the tired mind

Why is it so
There is no answer
Lofty ideals
Grace favours the few
Puzzlement
Strains heartstrings
Tears flow unchecked
Loneliness cuts deep
Cavernous tears bleed
Deep beneath the earth
As the stars wheel
Silently overhead.

We have just passed the dark of the moon when you can lay down under the night sky and see the infinite universe. It is so easy to imagine traveling for eternity, into a limitless ocean of the unknown. Inside those velvety depths are questions we are unable to voice let alone answer. The wonders of “Startrek” (Yes I’m a fan) where they can travel to “New worlds and new civilizations, To boldly go where no man has gone before” are not yet with us.
In the ultimate irony, there are as many unanswered questions about life, about our own lives as there are ‘out there’. At times it seems easier to contemplate the vast questions we cannot hope to find an answer to, than to fumble and struggle with questions on a daily basis that we still are unable to answer.
It would indeed be miraculous to find the answers to all our questions by allowing the vastness of the Universe to pervade our senses.
