Elusive quarry

Significance in the stars

Vast, yet I am small


Anticipation

Thrills, tingling; a world below

Where no one has gone


Does space make men mad

Or do they seek sanity

As we seek new worlds?


Worlds of worlds apart

Yet remarkably the same

Can we not make peace?


Nebulae conceal

Horrors in fathomless depths

Cloaked with beauty
