Beyond

Ever wondered what's beyond the stars? Me too.

Beyond

 

 

Gazing up into the night sky,

The constellations begging me to look,

As they twinkle oh so bright,

And pique my curiosity.

 

What lies beyond,

Those seemingly tiny balls of fire,

That encourages them to glow?

Perhaps it is knowing that they fascinate me.

 

Do they really affect me at all?

Or could they leave without a trace,

And no one be harmed?

What lies beyond their fury?

 

Do they glow because they must?

Or because they choose so?

Do they understand my frustration?

Or do they power it?

 

Oh, what lies beyond,

This holy punctured blanket,

That we call the night sky?

That we take for granted.

 

I wish I knew,

What lies beyond,

But until the very day I die,

I will always be left wondering.

Author's Note

'holy' can be taken both ways, as 'full of holes' and as 'extremely religious relating to God'. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is beautiful...I have always been curious about the construct of this mystical universe. It amazes me...I too wonder about the stars and life beyond our galaxy ..I also think about whether aliens exist..it fascinates me...so I could relate to this write very well, CBH....unknown always draws attention...this does the same..whether it is science or the power of creator....universe is always expanding...I guess somethings are better being hidden...so the secret behind this existence is kept safe between the subconscious and conscious self...

Very nicely written :-)
