you paint pastel stars
and shade the charcoal sky
but your masterpiece is missing
constellations
universes
galaxies
that we, as humans,
have yet to find

Short but imbued with such thought that is as immense as the unviverse. It's almost sad in the end. But at the same time, I want to make sure with my own life that I do have planets and constellations like your poem says. One of my favorites so far from you.

that we, as humans, have yet to find This line really drew my attention in. It brought me to a different perspective to look at things as if I was the human race as a whole. I don't quite know how to explain it but it was very interesting! Well done!
