Curiosity And Fear

Curiosity

And fear thrive in the darkness

Weighing on our minds

Which one will we succumb to

Depends on which path we take

 

But do tread lightly

For in darkness evil lives

Waiting to punish

Those that dare to taunt it

For their own entertainment

Venture Into This World (Sonnet)

Venture into this world with a free and open mind

Let not negativity toward spirit corrupt

As the old saying goes “Seek and ye shall find”

Push onward and never give up

.

This world–an oyster–is yours to discover

The wonders and mysteries await

Secrets yet unknown are yours to uncover

As curiosity and passion conflate

.

Do not ever doubt your pureness of heart

Or your ability to achieve in this world

There is so much ahead before time to depart

Let this tapestry of life be unfurled

.

If ever you feel that you’re mired and afraid

Know I’m here, through your successes I’m repaid

.

Curiosity, Friend or Foe

At times a troublemaker,

Like the kid up the street,

Always wanting to pick a fight.

Not for any reason really…

Just curious.

Curiosity–

Is it friend or foe?

Yes!

On both counts. Yes!

What discoveries might have been lost?

What cures for disease,

Missions to the moon,

Lost civilizations,

Were it not for man’s insatiable appetite?

But at times our hunger kills the cat.

With chemical warfare,

Nuclear bombs,

And crime.

All because,

We were just…

Curious.
