The Light Eternal Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Can you ever really lose
what you've never really had

Can you ever be good
if you've never been bad

Can you ever pose a question
that's never been asked

Can the answer prove elusive
when the future is past

Can the moments live on frozen
if only in your heart

Can the love you give unspoken
shout the loudest unremarked

Can you ever really finish
what was never yours to start

Can your light shine on eternal
—without passing through the dark
