The Best Thing Poem by 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 for sure
As minds are left gasping
at something so pure

At this very point
rejection sets in
Our spirit's attacked,
the reasoning thin

Century upon century
will come and will go
But what can't be explained
—the best thing to know
