<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.

|
|
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?
|
