ALCHEMICALOGIC
The busy bees are gathering the nectar
Melting the gold nuggets into honey
Sweet silk in the throat
Singing prism source drops
At the tip of my tongue
And raining down in rhythmic dispensations
Like moon phases
Lessons find crystalline completion on pages
That’s why sages are poets
And birth love maps
For ages of souls to follow
To those sweetest of places…
The Alchemists strived to turn lead to gold
Transmutation of elements
Assisted transformation
To partake and participate in the laws of Creation
Boil substance to essence
Distillation…
Branches are fed by the root
The seed contains the blueprint of the tree
The love of soil and sun makes the fruit
The fruit of me
is this poetry
That wild muse that inspires me
The slippery one that sings & skips & laughs at me
Between her giggles she drops great secrets
Gives gems that dissolve as soon as you try to keep it
Yet also stay and caress in unexplainable ways
Sometimes I yield to these irrational plays
And follow shimmering threads through the dreary of days
Let my soul be pulled
Even as my mind strays
Into fantastic fantasy planes
Painting rainbow realms on top of the bleak grays
This is the transmutation of poison
We touch in the stretching imagination
Reciprocal story-spell progression
Emancipation within expression
This is the bee’s making honey
Out of all the nectar they’re carrying
This is the human's making beauty
Out of the blessings and the suffering
This is where compost feeds blossoms
And wings free seeds to travel
Maps curled deep within
Begin to unravel…
And the pressure makes the diamond
And the fire makes the heat
This is the bridge we build between
The bitter and the sweet
The head and the feet
The forest and the street
The clearing in the open space
Where contradictions meet
And friction fuels the wisdom
At paradoxes peak
So, Whatever you do
Dear,
Don’t forget to seek
The Beauty
That speaks through
This intelligently irrational
And ever divine
Fire
Of
Alchemy
In You
