Cosmology ... Hmmm

Today's word is "cosmology" ... koz-MOL-uh-jee ... The branch of philosophy dealing with the origin and general structure of the universe, with its parts, elements, and laws, and especially with such of its characteristics as space, time, causality, and freedom. (Dictionary.com)

Hmmm
If we could discern the truth,
Of everything we see,
We would not need philosophies,
Like cosmology.

We would always be correct,
When speaking of the stars,
The universe and how it's made,
Why all is flung so far.

But we are bathed in mystery,
In us and around,
So we must propose some thoughts,
On all that we have found.

Yet, theories bend and break with time,
Leaving holes and questions,
Perhaps our senses can't reveal,
Ultimate intentions.
