Within Reason.

Within Reason.
_____________

"Within Reason."
Such an odd sentiment
in a world so lacking.
(perhaps "chaos willing"
would ring more appropriate.)

"Without the Benefit of a Doubt."
Or a Shadow of Proof To nail
upon Reasons Unsturdy Wall.

Without even a Ladder
to Climb towards Grace!
(though miraculously we
find countless ways to Fall.)

Without Truth, what is there
but a Bigger Hole in Me?
A Darker Abyss No Light
can Shine Through!
Or Hell for All Eternity.
( where I drown in Better
Memories of You.)

I Cling (My Love)
to the Ideal of You.
Without Any Reason
to justify my chain of
Thinking.
A New Obssession!,
(No logic shines through)
which seems the strongest
when I'm drinking.
