Insecurious

It's that limited curiosity

 overwhelmed with fear,

  keeping us from

   opening ourselves wide

    to the universe's wild imaginings;

     so hunkered down

      in our own little world,

       trying to hang onto

        and control everything possible,

         that grace dances

          right under our noses

           completely unnoticed,

  

            love sings harmony

             we cannot hear,

  

              life wafts beyond us.
