Unknown Quest Poem by Sunny Chopra

Once nestlings learn to fly
farthest they want to soar

New vistas to go and seek
and for unknown to explore

Think they know all about
for themselves they can fend

Unaware are of dark perils
those lurk beyond every bend

Rebuffed are all overtures,
or proffered any sane advice

Disregard suggested counsel
sans pondering over twice

Impulse given much credence
logic often gets to rescind

Dominant gets irrationality
and cautions thrown to wind

As much one may attempt to,
show wrong from what's right

Inane turn most of endeavors
what use is to put up a fight

Acknowledge the inevitable
with time one must accept

What earlier were unthinkable
how stealthy it has crept

Dreams for their well being
and concerns those applied

Are misconstrued impediments
and the guidance gets decried

One can't help but wish them,
safe journey they've in mind

God speed their undertaking
and what now they try to find
