Forge of Dreams

For ancient blacksmith to make horseshoe
It is not an easy thing to do
But only few
Can forge sword with blade that is true

But to make blade from aromatic steel
After five thousand years of bending steel
To our great will
Even now we don’t truly have that skill

Even if one would go so far
To forge sword inside furnace of a star
What seems bizarre? 
To start process like this we don’t need a star

But we can exploit natural electron tendency 
Not to change its core to desired potency
Yet even that increases frequency 
Of making graphene material that’s hardy 

But if brain waves could be forged like steel
Imagine that person’s will
Imagine their skill
If their mind would form to what this metaphor would instill

Even if the metaphor of only good steel sword would it be
That would transfigure mind to point of majesty
If comparison to aromatic metal it would be
It could change mind’s entire destiny

So where metaphor of change of core would fall
It would create sublime being that could reach any goal
And the most important of all
What would this change in nonlinearity do for person’s soul?
