Powers of reason<\/p>\n

I was walking down the street one day,
\nin a metaphoric truth,
\nwhen all at once and out of the blue,
\nan idea came into view,
\nAha! says I, That\u2019s it \u2026 Yes!<\/p>\n

I considered and pondered, thought a bit,
\nFeels right, says I, This is it!
\nI thought awhile about the possibilities,
\nto explore its potentiality,
\nreflect upon its practicality<\/p>\n

Turned a corner, to my surprise,
\nA prime example before my eyes,
\nA perfect illustration of the insight which transpired
\nIn those few moments before I conspired
\nto change direction in my real imagine area\u2026<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about, thought I
\nThis is but one way this can be viewed:
\nI reflected and searched.
\nI reflected searchingly.
\nI searched reflectively.<\/p>\n

Oh.. yeah! I heard some angels sigh,
\nAnd turned my gaze towards the sky,
\nIt\u2019s like a cloud, moving from east to west,
\ndissipating and dispensing a sustaining grace
\nupon this unawareness unaware-necessarily<\/p>\n

Comparatively obvious, one could surmise
\na relatively blatant indication
\nif considered under balancing conditions
\nunder one-to-one, corresponding situations
\nAll other factors equal \u2013 it would be assumed<\/p>\n

In contrast, an air of subtlety
\nhanging in a coolish casual mystery
\ndisguised, a disguise in dark shades, no doubt
\nnot to not see naught from the inside out
\nbut because naught is seen, \u2018less allowed<\/p>\n

As well, as well I may have guessed,
\nthere was a simple reason for all of this:
\na primal source of that phenomenon
\nlying in a shadow, lain, consequent
\nto virtue of a foreknown, fateful consequence<\/p>\n

Though its ultimate reality could not be told,
\nnamelessness its pre-existent indication,
\nstill, mercifully, there were ways to point the way
\nand its passing plentifully traced
\nor, but not and, resurrections portrayed<\/p>\n

In fact, enumerating its appearance
\nwould be a virtual impossibility;
\neven casual attention to its deportments
\nreveal a sympathetic harmony of movements
\nwhich might be likened to flickers of reality<\/p>\n

Immensely, appropriately qualified
\nas evidenced by anything that\u2019s true
\nhaving unnumbered circumstantial application
\nindependently possessed of its own justification
\nunencumbered by materialistic folly, it stood.<\/p>\n

And so it was that this story came to be;
\na walkabout come to a destiny
\na dance around the circle of reality,
\nseven steps, or three, or four:
\neach a repetition of one step into eternity.<\/p>\n
