mystified

the answer
mystery fuels our knowledge
curiosity still kills the cat
what time teaches to every soul
there are no substitutes for that

what math reveals in nature
and what science says of God
these encoded clues keep coming
like a pea grows in its pod

the search provides the answer
the crypt unlocks its doors
and behind the gates of death
you will find no fires or floors

my soul can see the answers
my body doubts in vain
the search for what life teaches
brings joy and removes pain
