The Cycle of the Universe

What lies beyond the farthest reaches of the universe?

I usually find myself pondering this question on quiet nights.
As night falls and the sky shifts from crimson to pitch-black darkness,
the stars, which had remained silent until then, quietly begin to appear.

When I look up at that sky, this question comes to mind.
Dawn breaks before I can find an answer.
Under the bright sun, amid the hustle and bustle of the day,
the question doesn’t even cross my mind.

And then, another night of wondering begins.
