1.2 million galaxies mapped out
That’s a lot of suns both alive and dead
It’s made me feel completely overwhelmed
As possibilities scream through my head
The 3-D map may unlock the secrets
Of a mysterious dark energy
Relating to universe expansion
Buttressing theories of gravity
World-wide group of scientists met in peace
Mapping space billions of light years away
Measurements taken over a decade
Expanding our minds with this news today
Can you look at this map and still pretend
That all war and hatred is a godsend?

An important message, a sobering call in the closing lines.
With the vastness of space, I wonder how do I not feel tired to loom with my thoughts about exploring it, when sometimes even a city near by seems too far away…

Thank you! Like me, I’m sure your thoughts are rarely tired and certainly not as cluttered with people and noise like the cities 🙂
