after space exploration

after all the corners of the universe
have been safely seen, cataloged and mapped,
there will be a sense of sorrow,
for the mysteries will be gone.
to some people's way of thinking.

but, after space exploration,
the infinite skies of the human heart
will still remain, begging our resolve
to see what is out there and in there,
a beauty beyond the stars and skies.
