Greatest Mystery

The Universe

The greatest mystery of all

Its vastness incomprehensible

Its creation unknown

Is there anything that lies beyond

We may never know

We long to know its secrets

And have probed into swirling galaxies   

Observed the birth and death of stars

But that is only a speck in the cosmos 

Dark energy and dark matter 

Gravity and what is inside a black hole 

Remain mysterious

Despite our many attempts 

To send messages into space 

We are still waiting for a response 

Were we created with a purpose

Or are we just an accident in the universe  

How insignificant it feels

To be a human being
