Kurt Philip Behm

The Best Thing

To believe or deny,

enlightenment dares

Our lack of acceptance,

a three-legged chair

 

We feel it and breathe it,

and live it de jure

As minds are left gasping

at something so pure

 

At this very point

rejection sets in

Our spirit’s attacked,

the reasoning thin

 

Millennium’s secrets

will come and will go

But what can’t be explained

—the best thing to know
