Cosmic travails in heavens viewed

attest to Mother Nature’s brood

uncountable in boundless skies

infinities our mind denies

or cannot grasp through senses skewed.

In solar sphere we have debuted

as animals with aptitude

Are humans just an interlude

in stellar art’s creative mood,

developmental enterprise

awaiting wisdom to arise,

albeit deeming they’ve construed

cosmic travails?

Explanation: Large Magellanic Cloud ~ Star Cluster NGC 2074 in the Large Magellanic Cloud… Hubble peered into a small portion of the nebula near the star cluster NGC 2074 (upper, left). The region is a firestorm of raw stellar creation, perhaps triggered by a nearby supernova explosion. It lies about 170,000 light-years away near the Tarantula nebula, one of the most active star-forming regions in our Local Group of galaxies.
