the logic of faith

the logic of faith is illogical
we die so that we may live
the only way to keep love is to give it away
the heart runs to the heart's treasure
i am not convinced van gogh was crazy
i believe he longed for hope and light
he painted it into every painting
the sunflowers, the starry night, the empty chair with pipe
the logic of faith is mysterious
the evidence of things hoped for
faulkner filled every dark story with the hope of light
so did flannery o'conner and walker percy
poets are always grasping for the light of hope
for all of us are always pursued by it.
