Transmutation

Listen to poem:
Written: December 02, 2023 Quote "Without birth and death, and without the perpetual transmutation of all the forms of life, the world would be static, rhythm-less, undancing, mummified." Alan Watts
________________________________________ “we woke up early one morn, ego shorn it felt as though we were in form reborn nodes within stirred, boundaries blurred our head and heart, with love concurred”
I deploy discursive divine depiction as a guide. A gateway to Genesis, where it takes its side. Unbridled and untamed, my voice may rise. I pursued knowledge out of pure surprise. Low-frequency vibes induce a shift in shape. Scarcity leads to transmutation, of spare scape. Alchemists transmute leads to sacred gold. Metal sheds its genius luster in the kiln hold. I waltz freely with doom in the gloom. I inhale oxygen to marvel at life's bloom. I endure steps yet disappear in the dream. Structure is unaffected by the skill stream.   Love is my soul—my reason for existence. Living in lavish love is a lifelong vow of diligence. A mind, weaved with such insight, was so warm. I flaunt my firm frame in this fabulous form. When you are feeling opulent and egotistical. Those who are dominant were miscible.   Departure might induce an unfillable hole. Descry a suitable way to purify your soul. There are ecstatic and tragic days, love and hate. No matter how tough we strive, this will be our fate. Note how sporadic and fleeting life is; spot the stride. Our days of tribulation bruised our noble pride!   Rather than succumbing to hatred and rage. Turning negative into a rising trend of assuage Let trust and troth tackle tricks and malicious Such a restrained demeanor is truly auspicious. Within, most consensus spans are wide. It's all whim; scatter love and watch it glide. Trust your scintilla—trek to the boundless sea. We may all profit from sowing wisdom trees. Conquered the most-dubbed landmass on Earth. And yearning to discover raw levels of worth! Death, then delirious with deceit, drove his life. A wicked beast embedded himself in strife! A susurrus sparkle to the shimmering love. Enhances adieu strut below the moon above. Breeze says, "Love on, my dear, and dance." Across the trees, a gentle man's glance.

What flow of wisdom! The world is not just a playground, but a school room where we learn to change and become better. Your deep insight shines through your words. Convictions are whetted on life experience. "Alchemists transmute leads to sacred gold. Metal sheds its genius luster in the kiln hold." In the same way our baser self can be transmuted to noble self. It needs wisdom and insight and a willingness to change. Wonderful poem with excellent rhyming as always.
