Once upon a time,
we thought, as a species,
that we were part of a
grand scheme of eternity,
in a universe centred on us,
even designed for us.
But now,
as we look deep
into the universe
with more clarity
than ever before,
and still quietly hope,
maybe even wish for,
something, someone,
to be out there in the great unknown,
there is the unresolved feeling
that we are alone.
