follow ideas all the way
carry them to the brink
devote it all to the open
where air is clean to think

the song’s sustenance can increase
beyond a passage bend
if the spark looms advantageous
chase it to the right end

provide occasions to evoke
the theories tracked in snow
uncertain lies the pendulum
of which direction goes

the first foggy ports of entry
where these journeys commence
encompass only distant lights  
and often awful tests

so allow the strong light to blind
and bounce it off the halls
sounding boards of experience
ancient or modern calls

calls leviathan, nebula
noble time unwasted
mysteries must be lost to gain
temporary o’ sacred
