Alchemy
Life is transformation -
An ongoing lesson;
From failure, to wisdom.. towards enlightenment.
The midpoint is the sharpest -
It sticks out like a thorn;
Yet, towards the end, finds tranquility, and calm.
It ebbs and flows.. rises and falls -
Moving ever onwards;
It curves so beautifully, before it circles back.
This process.. these cycles.. my own evolution -
Balancing of the dark and light;
The gold we all aspire to become.
