Wonderfully wise didactic poem, dear Brooke. I enjoyed the whimsical word play and philosophical gymnastics in this, especially in these thought provoking and witty lines:
The fact I haven't searched them yet
does not diminish what's unknown.
Though many long have realized
that answers loom beyond their reach,
too often they have failed to see
that questions too have much to teach.
Excellent meter, rhyming, poetic devices, etc. I like the subtle alliteration, especially.
Enjoyed reading this aloud twice.
Love,
rd
