(Mankind always has to go searching in the mysterious places of reality.  Our curiosity knows very few limits even if it gets us into trouble.)

Depthless seas

And limitless skies

Drawing us to them

Teasing at our wonder

Daring us to enter them

Putting life upon the table

Danger at our very heels

We are a race of explorers

Diving into mysteries

Using mind and flesh

Depending on a little luck

To see us safely home

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

    Very inspiring! Weirdly enough, this morning I just read a synopsis of a book where a young woman is a stowaway on a pirate ship headed toward an island in a deadly sea. So how fitting that I read this. 😄 And of course I think about Treasure Island, the Sinbad stories, Star Trek, and other adventure stories.

    Can you imagine how little we would know if there were no explorers? Super poem, Charles.
