Myths

A Poem

When minds couldn’t grasp
the wonders of nature
and cosmic mysteries

especially those
which left minds awestruck
and trembling

gripped in mighty talons
of fear and unable
to fathom fully

while witnessing
ravaging storms
and consuming floods

rumbling volcanoes
exploding and spewing
fire and lava

and heaven’s myriad
enigmas that unfold
across nocturnal skies

baffled minds created
mythical gods
as the source of all

to quell their pagan fears
and soothe their troubled souls
with myths on top of myths.
