What positive emotion do you feel most often?

Curiosity. I exist in a state of perpetual perplexity. For example, is curiosity an emotion? If so, is it a positive one? I know it includes a feeling that drives me to make a decision or take an action, which would be an emotion by definition. But I don’t see it on a list of emotions. I consider it positive, but I also try to avoid putting value judgements on all things. Maybe it’s neutral. Can an emotion be neutral?…

Lost in a Fog [Free Verse]

Lost
      in a foggy wood.

   all the trees alike,
   no long view,
   no hint of the sun's position...
       (or existence.)

just the vertical stripes of
   straight pinetree trunks --
       like the bars 
       of the cell
       of a giant --
   laid against a fluffy white
       backdrop.

I can scurry between 
   the bars, like a mouse,
       but am still lost
       and still caged.
