Alchemy

 


Alchemy has become

a popular word,
and I, for one, have experienced
that perfect balancing
where suddenly
all that came from me was gold -
truth from my mouth,
light from my being

But I need a deeper practice,
for my goal is not the sense
of being lit up from within,
but the illumination
that renders all the rumors of the shadow
irrelevant, forgotten, as they are,
in the bold line and color
of the day.
