Will knot, right?
Itself being less malleable
but nevertheless still pliable
in terms of magic.
Magical commands dress down
any common determination.
Determined, but why?
Less out of duty than desire.
For, nothing linear
will do. In terms of the
requested eternity.
We need our forever.
Knot it, bend it.
Never permit the lines form.
Our immortality depends
wholly on this rule.
Rules intended to
bend. Broken denies
the realisation. Of our
intended end.
Circles and knots.
We need our forever.
Our voices heard
the knotted word.

Like the underside of a needle-point piece. All knots and messes, but on top a work of art. Well said. ~ Regards, Dan

Profoundly moving – I love all these words all together like this! Circles, knots, magic – it invokes a spiritual kind of feeling, a mystery – for me anyway 🙂 Love this!
