Barrier between two pillars

The robed watcher with lamp of gold
Seen silent, watching patient
Permits a smile beneath ... within
Behind him the network like a web
Shines with lights
As an energy transmits and circumnavigates
the known world
He bears the staff of true direction
But remains silent ...
Standing on the false trail
The watcher is relaxed
The barrier between the two pillars,
easy to overcome
Apparently meaningless
He sees the ruins of the hill
No trees between him and there
An exchange must have begun
An interplay ...
because around him the potential is clear
Indefinite subterfuge ...
A smokescreen of as many days as it needs
Gauntlet hand to gauntlet hand
Then ... it is all over ..
Happily ever after.
