MEASURED REASON

 

MEASURED REASON

 

In depth of nights obscurity

the supernatural force asserts

a presence there unseen unheard

as might of incredulity

gives way to notions self-deceived

a victim of illusions call.

 

But in the searching light of day

and with the mind at last composed

the doubt that measured reason brings

receives the seed of logic sown

with wisdom now submission borne.
