Curse of the Thirst

Curse of the Thirst

A Poem by Gomer LePoet
"

Thirst of knowledge and understanding

"

Curse of the Thirst


as time winds down my physical life

I have become more aware of the curse

the curse bestowed the thirst of knowledge

and each day getting worse


the significance of my insignificance

the more knowledge I obtain

the less I understand of this universe

the more pain upon my brain


the depth and scope so glorius

the size gigantic to microscopic

distances so off the charts

the beauty observed still another topic


the fruit of the knowledge tree

its taste beyond forbidden

a natural drug it draws you in

seeking secrets that are hidden


for all I know I still no nothing

I feel strained but still want more

how can one logically understand

all the magic beyond the door


and though the pain gathers strength

I rub my hands with spit

I must search forever more

I simply cannot quit


continue on with humble heart

accept the gifts bestowed

I was given the gift of wondering

and my efforts most truly owed

compelling thoughts here, and i must agree. it seems we exchange the exuberance of youth for the 'age of quiet wonder,' if you will. time sorta turns in on itself providing us a peek into wonders most often overlooked as the stresses of the rat race leave little energy to look beyond the obvious. nicely done.

ps: sandy beach sent me here thinking i might enjoy your work. he was right and i'm glad he did. :)
