I Met the Alchemist

As soon as they come; they leave As soon as I open my eyes; they vanish The Ghosts of my past fight the angels of my future Or so I see it Faith they said, had grown week So much so that even Ten shots of elixir felt meek Or so I believed Time claimed alchemy I simply bowed to whoever showed, The power to prove wrong in me It was a long voyage Horizon seemed like an eternity The alchemist continued to row And I continued to bow ‘Look up’ he said So I did, and so I saw it My cheeks felt warm The breeze felt soft As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw his work Indeed! He spoke of the truth Watching the bright golden truth, I stood Making its way from up above into my room Drinking the elixir, I smiled Watching me, he took pride Twisted are your ways, I said ‘Make me proud’ said he and left.
