Ode to Not Knowing

There is a beauty in

the naivety

the ignorance 

the unexpected


There is a ugliness in

the naivety of the ones who refuse to listen 

the ignorance of the ones who refuse to believe

the unexpected that creeps up and destroys


The happiness always balances out the sadness

There is beauty in those who don't need to find that balance

There is hurt in those who are gripping on white cliff edges of chalk 

There is beauty in those who are hurting - the chalk dust on their withering hopes can be washed away with rain filled faces - endings can be rewritten for those who find balance


Balance is not always possible

Ecstasy of pain teasing fingers off cliffs 

There beauty in 

the naivety 

the ignorance

Of not knowing 

Ecstasy of any emotion
