First east, then it’s west,
It’s a fairly easy guess.
I’ll leave it to you.
Clearly, I’m not crazy about it. That much is certain.

Intro 1: Ode to the Dawn
This ends up as a
sequence which may or may not
continue onward.
Intro: Who Would Stand
Would you stand up? Would I? If one lived while others fell, wouldn’t it be better to have done what one could? Would it not have been better to have died if one had n0t?
This was from a dream last night.
A dream in summer,
But only one long sentence.
Diagram, someone?
I am not sure why, but I cannot resist doing that. Be warned: I hide these within paragraphs, unindented. Can you find them all?
Intro 5: Strange Days
I fell upon, particularly strange
These shores wherein I found myself marooned
Instead of somewhere infinitely light.
My voyage, it began capriciously.
And, though within it lives embedded form,
Possesses also an embedded soul.
Intro 4: If Only
I expected five. But for some unknown reason, four came before three, shortly after two. And that told the whole story. As well as five could. Reading them over, I sometimes see a fifth there, and sometimes I don’t.
Intro 3: I Think I Now See:
How will evil fall?
Shall it be ground underneath
Purely distilled truth?
Truth and good and right
And beauty cannot be stopped.
Many will have died–
For this, gladly die.
For truth is all that we have.
Truth, and nothing else.
All beauty and right
All goodness and all kindness
Come from perfect truth.
Distilled by reason
Distilled by our harmony
With the truth itself.
Intro 1: “Creators 2: The Return… This time… it’s personal!”
It’s more direct now.
I Like this version better.
Much more personal.
It now has the punch
I wish I could deliver
With my own two fists.
What is that light, now,
Raging from the east? A sun?
Many more will rise.
