Natures Alchemy

You came to me with Eyes of obsidian night You beckoned me and I followed you to the woods And learned nature’s alchemy. A plant for each of Our organs to heal themselves Many elixirs Repose in her earthen womb Steaming, boiling, releasing; Magic steam rises Infusion mixes the ores Iron, copper, zinc And minerals convert to Heal and maintain the body.

I feel that some people are natural healers, and have the gift of knowing what to collect from the woods to make the elixirs that will heal. Nice one, goes right along with my feelings about this.

I was raised on it; listened to the doctors for awhile, their medicines created problems so, I've gone back to it. Wish I'd never left. Thank so much.
