Tessellated Constellations — Free Verse Poetry

 

 

gazing upon the expanses
.                               of the great night sky
our endless wonder
.                               at the mosaic sea of stars
is inexplicably bridled
.                               by an intangible feeling that
the abyss separating
.                               our world and distant realms
forms a chasm of black emptiness
.                               meant to isolate different beings

 

are we imprisoned on this earth
.                               destined to stay indefinitely
watching other worlds pass by
.                               time and time again until
time can no longer describe
.                               our passivity to their passing
through a window of obscurity
.                               permitting only imagination to
penetrate its dark tinted display
.                               of anonymous secrecy

 

and us the victims of our own nature
.                               able to imagine but not to reach out
and satisfy our insatiable curiosity
.                               we begin to realize the paradoxical
plight of human existence
.                               as our seemingly powerful earthly
dwelling is humbled by our
.                               temporary and insignificant
presence in the vastness of
.                               the galaxy and the cosmos

 

so we are fated to be
.                               mighty yet powerless
an existence woven in
.                               a tessellated fabric of
captivating constellations and
.                               starry specks mirroring
the very state of our planet
.                               our world our reality
brimming with wonder and
.                               glimmering with hope
