Dark Sayings

[Humble Penny]

The wise king said that Truth hides things from the kings
In turn the kings hide things from their people
When they are found Truth receives the glory

If the heart of the king cannot be discovered
neither can the mind of Truth unless He wills it
Even then do men toil and struggle
Dark sayings they fail to uncover

That great orator instructed his pupils to obscure their speech
O tree of terror in one day I lost my eye
After nine nights I was again on my feet

Mysterious trees you reveal that in the East is delight!
Knowledge begins with those Oriented in the morning
Shining your light on all men you settle in the evening

To reach the heights of heaven you must fall to the depths of the earth
The king will remain above his people if to them he submits
The king will remain below his people if to them he resists
Great are the mysteries between parents and children

Why do your sayings in darkness remain?
Is it not with words that men struggle in vain?
One mystery truly I shall reveal
To those seeking Truth do these words appeal

Just as the shadow is attached to the image
Dark sayings attach to the letters they envision
Obscure Truth dark as night
Revealed to those who submit to light
