Endless Cosmos, Space and Our Universe

Forlorn twinkling dots 
Adorned the black night sky
And three stars in one row 
Shone eccentrically, apart from the rest 
And right below the trio
A rather lonely duo.
And a bit above the three,
Orion's action-figure pose indeed,
As the one constellation flickered,
Together, utterly,
As half of the others 
Remained submerged in an array of clouds.
And that one star in Orion 
That shone along with, yet alone,
Betelgeuse, as bright as a planet,
Does it still breathe, or are the assumptions true?
Is it a supernova, betelgeuse?
Will we find out, if it still remains?
My, so many thoughts,
And queries
Race up to my mind.
How many more things out there, 
Waiting to be discovered?
Will we discover all of them,
Before our timeline to extinction?
Does time have a beginning, or an end?
Is our universe just one of many?
So we actually exist, or are we just holograms?
And as I stare at the mysterious sky, 
All I can do is wonder,
How?
How did this all come into existence?
How will it all perish billions of years later?
And how,
How will we fathom and solve 
This one big mystery?
THE one big mystery, 
An enigma, a riddle, a puzzle with no fitting 
Pieces,
The mystery that makes us up,
The mystery 
Of the universe 
Of our world
Of everything.

    Yes, it is mystery of the universe. But after some more years you can understand it. Raising a question is easy. But to solve a mystery require lot of patience.please wait. You have to wait for an answer.

    Dear Shriyandhaa,
    Its wonderful to see that you are thinking about the mysteries of the Universe and asking the right questions. The human race has evolved to a place where we are now only because questions were asked and people started venturing out to get answers for it. Mankind is still learning more and more about the mysteries of the Universe, depths of Oceans, and even about human anatomy. We are still finding new answers every day for many things around us. So continue your search and exploration. You’ll find more and more very interesting facts when you do so.
    As always, you have written your thoughts in the form of a beautiful poem. 👏👏
    May God Bless you!

Clouded

  Every night, I bring myself  To stare up at the sky -  But turn back home, with a frown on my face, Clouds blocking stars, showing wry.  Every morning, I peek out the window  To marvel at the sea above - But turn away, losing hope,  Cotton figures, masking what I love.  Every time I see the clouds,  I curse them, with all might,  They don't deserve to be up there,  Ruining the bright days and starry nights.  And one day, the clouds finally went away,  And I stargazed in much peace.  But suddenly, the sky felt a bit empty -  Although dotted by the stars, without fake fleece. In the mornings, the sun burnt the pavements -  And something inside me missed watching  The white shapes that merrily float past -  I didn't realise they had much meaning.  Though much couldn't be seen, they brought A wholesome feeling - that you probably can't see -  You only can, when one day,  The clouds decide t...

Eclipsed

  Moon:  I shine every night  Though, once a month, I take a break  But I'm seen regularly,  And it's not a big deal.  Few stop by  To marvel at me.  But what about the others -  Can they even see? And tonight is the night  A shadow shall be cast upon me  I hope no one notices -  My brief moments without glory.  Oh, but who am I kidding?  Of course, when I'm humiliated  In the vast night sky  Just me, and an eery shadow upon me  That  That is when the humans  Choose to gaze at me.  And then, to say I am weak And I'm always overruled by  The sun, and shadows, and clouds?  That is not fair.  But the truth that the moon does not know  Is that our little downfalls  Are what define us.  They're the little things that make us  Better - Perfection isn't a thing; but realism is.  Someone who is perfect cannot be likeable - But someone with flaws has more pe...

What it really feels like, being indecisive.

  Let's get started.  Pick the next line:  You mean I need to choose?  You'll do just fine -  That is NOT true -  Whatever, pick the next -  I CANNOT DECIDE .  I mean why not?  That's my flawed side.  Oh, ambiguous, are we?  Sure, just pick a line for me. Is this turning into a poem?  It better be!  Why can't you decide on one answer?  What if one is better than the next?  Don't think too much about possible blunders -  That is exactly why I fret.  You can't not have an opinion -  But that's how it is.  You should really change -  It's not my fault I'm indecisive.  Think about it, I'm used to heat, but at the moment  I can use some cool But I can survive in the Sahara if I have to But I'll suffer in cold rooms, I might even solidify  But now, the heat is a bit hard to bear  But I'm afraid, the AC might get too extreme -  ALRIGHT, I understand, it's pretty hard to ...
