One definition of knowing
could be settled for a rationale
Just a cursory demarcation
of a rendering into twice told tales
the individuation or formality
forever the annotation you get the drift
The setting for a reason
a soundness of understanding
To the edge of the terminus
for clarity to a definition
taking shape before all struck eyes
like a sliced off cross section of fruit
Don't let it bewilder or concern you
with portents of unforeseen wonder
Luring the witchery into a trance
to contemplate inside one's castle built
the pipe dreams of the chimerical muse
the craft of a life's work hung in the balance
Pursuing the inquest to follow the legwork
leading to question and reason it out
A matter of deliberate consolidation
melding into a coalition of alliance
by association with the syndicate
all aboard with the trusted crew
through the members of the clade
But the moon was very full and bright
a turn of strange events had led to the ones
that already had it made forced to turn around
headed back in the direction which they had come
