a lightless
void
of
soundless
vacuum
spinning
masses
of

orbs
hurtling

repulsions
of precarious
fragility
magnificent
obscurity
unquenchable
wonder
unrealized
dreams
untethered rubble
relativity’s

of
time
reality’s
illusion
set in
fantasy’s
foundation
the ultimate
frontier
unfounded
fear
hope
adventure
catastrophe
humankind’s

our

infinity’s

of
never-ending
truth
a
constant

a
longing call
home of
the
gods
the
fountainhead
of myths
religions
and other
odd
superstitions
a reason
why
a source
of
mystery
font of
knowledge
cause
of
fiction
Heinlein’s
cathedral
the unknown
of
the
unknowable
ever
expanding
everything
and
nothingness
absolute
