Abigail

Life should continue to be an adventure.
Death should continue as well.
Either or neither of them is a quencher
for curiosity. Shall
I understand or aware or may be
should I instead realize:
whether I have wrongly won, dear Abbie,
or rightly failed, otherwise?
There can not be a more than severe
letdown for such a quest.
Life should go on as adventure, my dear,
Death should go on as the rest.

This one has sentimental value for me: it was the first verse I wrote in English) Thank you very much, Caren.

"Either or neither of them is a quencher for curiosity" - this definitely reeled me in, and kept me going, even though I have read a lot of poems tonight. Wow!
