Curiosity.

“The knowledge of all things is possible”                                      ― Leonardo da Vinci

It is in the asking Wondering what secrets Make the wheel spin And green crops grow.

How can it be this way And not another? Some dark mechanism Awaits the dazzling light Of understanding.

Through it all we watch Quietly doing nothing Or so it seems; Yet in the silence A most important text Grows insistent and certain.

We are at once compelled To place our hand Where new words appear Etched in primal stone; Questions echo inside To fill the book Of the hollow world.
