Contraries — a poem by Tom Eggebeen and Bob Dahl

A paradox, a contrast, the contrary,                                                                               Indeed …                                                                                                                         From whence evangelicals                                                                                                   Flee                                                                                                                                 Full tilt …                                                                                                                    Contraries cause headaches,                                                                                              And heartache …                                                                                                                 For minds and hearts                                                                                                          And necks                                                                                                                         Stiffly built…                                                                                                                       With no apparent                                                                                                                  Room                                                                                                                                  For the mystery                                                                                                                     Of God’s eternity.
