The Precipice

Throughout history, Man feared the unknown:
beyond the far horizon was taboo.
And yet, curiosity led the way
past castle walls, into that twilight zone:
"where there be dragons," waiting to eat you
myths say.

We've scaled the precipice of the unknown:
though fear tried to take that moment away.
But life doesn't stagnate, nor stand in a queue;
possibilities pass a new milestone
each day.

Valsa George Date: 2/3/2022 5:42:00 AM The unknown has always baffled man and he has always kept a distance from it. But some probe into the unknown and have come up with wonderful discoveries as they know that there are unlimited possibilities in everything. Profound thoughts.
