Out there in the cosmos, we wish to believe,
A landscape of stars and forces unbeknown to thee.
Do aliens and different life forms exist?
We can only ponder with our wide-eyed eye cast.

Saturated with possibilities, our minds widens its grip,
Of what other civilizations evolve on a distant rip?
Or do they stand dormant in vibrant grounds all the same?
Some, remote and uncountable, and others, devoid of fame?

Maybe they, who roam around the corner of the stars,
Exist in a plane so alien, beyond our sundial’s bars.
The things they harbor, the things they cherish,
The photosynthesis that grows in their center.

Are we just a fragment of another universe?
Particles racing to reveal life of another curse?
As the darkness swallows up lights from our sun,
We take a deep breath, at something that is to come.

Do these capable hands know of an unfound truth?
The foreign limits of the cosmos and its youth?
For a possible life beyond our blue sphere,
My desperate soul yearns for an answer so clear.

The magnitude of Earth is one thing for me,
Perhaps our solar system contains something more to see?
The rhythms of life, the cadences of death,
My heart’s secret desire pulls at every breath.

Through the known universe, we’ve just but passed,
The expansive galaxies, which we knew were last.
We glimpse what may be, beyond our realm,
As the reality of life outside Earth begin to overwhelm.

If life exist out of the planet’s quarantine,
The opportunity for questions about them left unseen.
Of all that’s unknown and always asking,
A thought of something more is what keeps me grasping.

As I contemplate the universe and the gift of luck,
A new journey of life on an unknown rock.
To find ourselves in a world so far away,
Of secrets, secrets of life, secrets beyond our day.
