Beyond Logic

Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery



”Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit”
If he concludes to use a narrow eye
Or cannot feel a sense of rain
Without dark clouds upon the sky
Or feel the glow of something grand
Without a sun upon the land

Believing in what can’t be seen
Imagining what might have been
Where logic lifts, in smoky rings
Can take us far beyond our dreams
