Arcane Knowledge

Very few will ever know my secret.
Only those with insight, keenly gifted
With discernment, have the slightest chance to
Pierce its veil. Have you such stern resolve, child?
Seek to gain this wisdom if you dare;
Plumb its murky depths with subtlety and care,
For it will never knowingly expose
Itself to those unwilling to accept its
Implications. And if you should succeed –
If you should coax this well of arcane knowledge
To overflow and share its deepest truths –
I beg you, please, to share your prize with me.
Self-knowledge is rarely clear to oneself;
Your quest might help me join that “very few.”
