The Open Question

A scene-led poem about Knowledge.

A question opens wider when the first easy answer fails. Books gather voices that disagree across centuries on the same shelf. Observation turns wonder toward evidence without exhausting wonder. Experience teaches truths no diagram can fully rehearse. Knowledge grows by correction, not by pretending never to have erred. A teacher offers method rather than a room of finished conclusions.

Library Light

A second original poem approaching Knowledge from another angle.

Observation turns wonder toward evidence without exhausting wonder. Facts need context before they become understanding. Expertise includes the border where confidence should stop. What we know changes what we are responsible to do. Curiosity is attention refusing the comfort of indifference. Wisdom begins when knowledge learns humility and care.
