It looms over my days,
It haunts my nights,
The further I try to go,
It is again before my eyes.

The sweat trickling down,
My heart beating fast,
It always makes me feel,
This breath is my last.

Like an eight-legged octopus,
It entraps and engulfs me,
The more I shrink back,
Clearly the shadow I see.

My senses seem to give away,
When it comes very near,
And then I realize that
The ghostly figure is fear.
.

... Few words to describe my take on how we as human beings feel against the vast cosmic and extraterrestial forces that are so beyond our reach and comprehension... The books in this section are an attempt to unviel the truth that lies beyond ... and curb are fear of the unknown..with a spirit of scientific enquiry..
