Lifes Mysteries

Lingering thoughts of what I've yet to learn
Ignite my mind with an intense desire
Flames to unearth answers for which I yearn
Emerge from ashes of a kindled fire 
Secrets buried without being revealed

Myths and conundrums, I'll unveil their truth
Yarns and ancient riddles that have been sealed
Solved, though I do not claim to be a sleuth
That would give us cause for celebration
Enigmas that hold such great mystery
Release their reasons for fascination
In aliens throughout our history
Explaining Stonehenge; a site I ponder
Searching for solutions,  I must wander

How bizarre, I am sure I commented on this earlier. A lot of mysteries in your poem.. They say Stonehenge was constructed by druids or sun worshippers... Maybe it was giants lol

As long as you weren't calling my Sonnet 'bizarre' it's ok. lol I've heard that and it's depicted so in the series, Outlander. Thanks for the comments.

A very nicely constructed piece, Jenna. I do believe ancient aliens have visited our planet, there are too many things like Stonehenge and the Nazca Lines that can't be explained. GL in the contest. Hugs.

Good morning, John, and thank you for reading my lines and mentioning the glyphs in Peru. Strange and beautiful. They don't get nearly enough publicity. Hugs back to you.
