Cornerstones in place

Within an ancient hall
watching figures gather
Discussions reach the topic on every lip
The flaming sword ...
the progression of that end
one of the great works of the age
cornerstones in place
All seemingly as it is meant
A knight of the order holds the document
Kneels before the order
Slight obstacles only remain
A twist now in the tale
A deed in principle
A practised scene
Understood then for what it endures
the open eye will know
those returning from the vales
Shall see the defiant planets silenced
Before the watchers eyes ... only shades
But the masters see the plan
Know the structure is in place
Within striking distance the end
Actors and players now enact that scene
to change then reality.
