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
