=== Section 5 === 
# Do my wishes deceive me?<br />
# I have never seen like this before<br />
# Darkness and tears fill my eyes,<br />
# But not today.<br />
# No longer do they mourn;<br />
# No longer do they not realize their path.<br />
# Is this the ending?<br />
# Is this what I wait for?<br />
# There can be no deception<br />
# With such dreams that outweigh my own.<br />
# Does this end have to leave so soon?<br />
# Do not take the end from me.<br />
#<br />
# Do not put out the least for they will save you.<br />
# The gathered will tell of the path of the shell.<br />
# The bound will know of the path of the stone.<br />
# Words are many, but action is what is desired.<br />
# The gathered will find rest when the light comes.<br />
#<br /> 
# The circle is broken;<br />
# The metal is melted in the fire.<br />
# Strangely the cloth does not burn.<br />
# The cloth of many;<br />
# It remains in the fire<br />
# And produces new life.<br />
# Though the circle is gone<br />
# It has brought triumph.<br />
#<br />
# The dreams of the wise are a gift from the Maker.<br />
# The cleft is a blessing to the gathered.<br />
# Contempt is a gift from the accuser.<br />
# Roll the stone to know the deceiver.<br />
#<br />
# They ask for it again.<br />
# They cry out for yesterday.<br />
# They want wisdom united<br />
# Under one.<br />
# “Never”, He says.<br />
# That time has vanished.<br />
# Misery will be great<br />
# If that ancient place is visited again.<br />
#<br />
# Can a dead tree grow again?<br />
# A man looks and sees death.<br />
# It has been cut to nothing.<br />
# There are no more branches,<br />
# And no future is seen.<br />
# But the Maker looks and sees life<br />
# Beneath the death and destruction.<br />
# A drop of water falls from the sky,<br />
# And begins the journey downward.<br />
# And the roots drink deeply.<br />
# With the wisdom of the grower a new branch will grow.<br />
#<br />
# The burdened one will write to save worlds, and save one.<br />
# The dreamer will dream to save worlds, and save many.<br />
# The path is folly for those who toil.<br />
# The path is wise for those who wait.<br />
#<br />
# I see the tree, with so many branches.<br />
# What a sight!<br />
# To watch it fall, and grow again.<br />
#<br />
# Can teeth replace Books?<br />
# Can hands replace Ink?<br />
# Can mirrors replace memory?<br />
# Can one replace the many?<br />
# When such things are believed<br />
# So an ending nears.<br />
#<br />
# The Maker listens to D’ni,<br />
# And he hears nothing.<br />
#<br />
# All of them look over you.<br />
# And they do not see the right path.<br />
# Follow the path of light, enter a new beginning.<br />
#<br />
# They seek answers in Ink and Paper<br />
# And only find truth.<br />
# They seek change in truth<br />
# And only find empty hearts.<br />
#<br />
# They follow the truth and denounce all that is within.<br />
# Evil is buried as quickly as love.<br />
# They study the truth and denounce all choice.<br />
# Evil is shunned as quickly as good.<br />
# They write the truth and denounce all that came before.<br />
# Perfection is sought as quickly as evil.<br />
#<br />
# Seek knowledge and you will find evil.<br />
# Seek wisdom and you will find knowledge.<br />
# Seek truth and you will find wisdom.<br />
# Seek love and you will find truth.<br />
#<br />
# A new river flows through the land,<br />
# Its paths are chosen wisely.<br />
# The waters have lived through many dry lands<br />
# And are no longer deceived by imaginary images.<br />
# There are some who hear it roar through the land;<br />
# Some see the dark waves and ripples.<br />
# Those who refuse to acknowledge that it flows<br />
# Are swept away by the storm that follows.<br />
#<br />
# Make a path to the sun,<br />
# And the light will sine upon you.<br />
# Make a path to the sky,<br />
# And the storms will come.<br />
#<br />
# A new tree buries the beliefs of old;<br />
# A tree of stone and power.<br />
# Deep roots sustain it;<br />
# Roots that absorb the waters of the past;<br />
# Waters long forgotten<br />
# But still flowing underground;<br />
# Under new trees, with barks of life<br />
# And rings of stone.<br />
#<br />
# Under the sun is the bringer of destruction.<br />
# To the wound the bringer of pride returns.<br />
# But the son of the son will carry the burden.<br />
# And his wife will face the storm.<br />
# Give him a pen, and he will plan.<br />
# Give her a pen, and she will dream.<br />
# And a daughter will carry the burden of her father.<br />
# And the daughter of the daughter will live in peace.
