Cosmic Travails

.

.

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

to seek beyond our wheres and whys

cosmic travails.

.

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.
