+<em>I was staring out the window, distracted from the unenviable task of dimensioning a long-forgotten machine. As I stared at a shadow moving along the ground (yes, that's how unenviable my task was), I noticed the shadows that had been previously hidden, being revealed by its motion. That's when I realized how most shadows stayed hidden and unnoticed within all the other shadows. 
+
+And that's when my eternally crazy, philosophy-tinted mind made a rather far-fetched link to my own ignorance, and my ignorance of my own ignorance. The madman within me screamed at me to express the revelation. I quelled the insanity.
+He ultimately won, though.
+</em>
+A city of blissful mortals and mournful souls
+Within weary walls, and the winter cold.
+Under a gloomy sun behind a misty veil,
+In an year of a single night and a single day.
+ 
+Voices of the unquenchable soul, unheard
+In the peaceful silence of existence. 
+Captured and bound by earthly vows,
+Driven to despair by an unseen foe.
+ 
+A musty past, scrolls of seekers lost
+The only remnants of a fading quest.
+As a forgotten god, a bottomless well,
+Hollow and unfulfilled it shall be.
+ 
+Puppets dancing to self made strings,
+Without a master, without a cause.
+Echoes of music from beyond the veil
+Resonate within their empty souls.
+ 
+Illusion of conviction, conjured
+By the shadowy trickster of guile.
+He who pulled the greatest trick of all
+Lies shrouded in the shadow of the cloud.
+ 
+The future holds the answer,
+To the unasked question,
+Will lightning strike?
+Or will nighttime fall?
