Knowledge

Flame of dragon, power’s desire,
Everlasting serpent’s fire,
Burning brightly as the sun
’Till dark is all and day is done.
Lighting up the ignorant night
With knowledge’s power, that of light;
Pounding at eternity’s door,
Ever pounding, evermore,
Wanting always to get in,
Knowing it would be a sin
For knowledge is the fruit forbidden
Always sought, always hidden
From mortal hands and mortal eyes,
Imperceptible… in disguise.
