Curiosity

Not everyone finds

A reason

A tether

A hope

Or some grand sign to stay.

Sometimes the only thing keeping me here

Is the fact that I still can’t spell mischivious

Mischeevyous

Meschevious

And I get distracted from the spiral

Long enough to google my next

Insignificant pondering.

The same curiosity they say

killed the cat

is what has brought me back.

Here’s to the insignificant ponderings,

Here’s to the moorless musings,

Here’s to the ones who can’t leave

Until they know.

Because how can I give up,

when I still don’t know what my favorite food is?

or if elephants are actually scared of mice?

or if you can really slip on a banana peel?

or what the sunset will look like tomorrow?

Sometimes all it takes,

is a little wonder, and a little bravery,

to find the path again.

Keep asking, keep searching, keep wondering,

And, along the way, you’ll find

the courage to be curious
