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!

Behind The Mask

  Behind the clouds  Is the hidden sky, so far, Behind the plasters, A nasty scar, Behind the curtains,  Are bright windows  But behind a mask - It is not for show. Not until you tumble into the trap,  Stay trapped there, in disguised gloom  Without realising it - And then go deeper and deeper  To discover what really looms. Then realisation strikes - How they behaved, how they feigned The hidden meaning behind every wave  You've found it. And the rage, You try to stifle it with much courage, But instead, burn down the page, And whoops - that leads you to your cage. But in the end, the mask is gone - To reveal an atrocity, so from it begone Don't explain, on its own will it dawn - Upon others, just the way it did on you - Ignore their every scorn. Just wait for their mask to be openly torn.

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...

They

You know what they say, "Practice makes Perfect"?  You know how they say, "Let the past  Be the past"? You know how you feel Knowing something you're doing  Is not right, You know they're watching you ponder, You do, right? They stay around you, you meet them, see them Everyday, They can give glowing smiles, or uncanny looks Depending on the aura around you - Wherever you are, they are there  They are there everywhere. You might think you're alone, somewhere D eserted But you never are They're still there - And they are also probably the ones Who know you, better than you know  Yourself. They say confusing strings, There are lots of songs they sing, They have seen lots of things, There's something, which, to myself I'll always Think, It will either remain unanswered,  Or will be forgotten,  But I shall not think it will be addressed But nonetheless -  They cannot control  Everything you do  Even if the things they have said  Echo co...
