Yen Sid has much knowledge of the Keyblade and happenings in the world, such as the Heartless and the Nobodies, as well as Organization XIII.
Yen Sid shows Sora, Donald and Goofy a book which contains three stanza, The Beginning, The Interlude and The Future Story.

The Beginning
Each journey gives rise
to chance encounters,
and each encounter brings
forth a farewell.

When a farewell leads to
a journey, the worlds open
their hearts,

Those chosen by the light,
or ensnared by the darkness.
Friends who share the same bounds,
though their paths may differ.

When you doubt the path trod
thus far, when the hand you
held is lost to you, gaze anew at the heart that once was...

for all the answers are within.

Interlude
A long dream.

A sad farewell, hanging in the air
in that "world between".
What is reality? What is illusion?
The path chosen by the young boy
leads to his memories.
When caught in the stream of
the days and nights going past,
gaze anew at your steps...

for there all confusion will end.

The Future Story
Will the day come when this battle, born
of confusion, will end?

It is different things to different people.
Can the reality be that which is hidden?

The reason is mere existence.
Still, memories can be believed.
Be not afraid. Entrust your body to the
soothing waves of your memories.
By and by, your fleeting rest will be over...

and everything will begin.
