The observable universe unfolds,
held open like a map, up to the edge,
enter the domain of space without light,
on the other side of this horizon,
blankets of dark, invisible comfort
surrounds the observer with an abyss,
enter here where time ceases to function,
relative dimensions of height, length, width,
virtually lose all meaning, nature
abhors a vacuum but what of this place
beyond light, beyond the night sky, beyond
limits set by reason, out of nothing,
existence ponders the scrying mirror,
until we know what is out there, we know
nothing but speculation, we reflect,
imagine the history of the stars,
versions set against each other, cosmic
explanations of our solar system,
rejection and subsequent acceptance,
surrender hypothesis to reason,
erroneous conclusions ejected,
uncertain theories debunked by science,
nothing but timelessness past the last star,
forging ahead until we reach deep space,
only the mind of God knows what exists,
limitless unfolding dark dimensions,
diminished by our inability,
see, see there, a light, nope, emptiness, still.
