Alchemy

In the waters of which Narcissus fell Too enamored Litmus visions in the wishing well The ripples distilled to salty tears Questions answered Witness listens more than it appears I cry not for eyes who only saw a mirror Truth is deeper, plot it spins I weep as my beauty has never reflected clearer The planter and the reaper Let the story begin I awoke from a snore under a sycamore Visions of Egypt where treasure may lay Before the Gypsy's vision, I'd herd forever more Lessons from a king and I am on my way Trusting in that path, still, end up getting robbed Skill on a hill, hell I'll sell crystal glass Taking risks, business tactics not to be lobbed Too content in your yard You'll never leave the grass Hold fear inside You'll be denied Tune in and swirl With the soul of the world Follow omens They beckon your personal legend Hidden but listen It is written Now rich with possessions Cash out for projection In a caravan in the Sahara man The end is fairly planned in legend's direction And I learned from a Brit How to sit unconcerned and submit Not to books but the world around me When I'm lost, hope I'm always found free Knowledge is power and that's how I know About the elixer of life and the philosophers stone Emerald tablets speak no words Nature's language squeaks with birds Heed my habits Seek to bloom for a flower in Al-fayoum Hold fear inside You'll be denied Tune in and swirl With the soul of the world Follow omens They beckon your personal legend Hidden but listen It is written Eternally gracious Oasis replaces no mans land where violence rages Legends hopeful homeostasis But wait is what the fate is Love our prewritten pages Weathered desert teaches more Talks through warring hawks that soar A warning informing a storming roar For a morning swarming to guard the core My mentor may have discovered my vision Therefore an encore of recovered revision Chosen to learn over those who would yearn Forever is firm from Fatima's decision Hold fear inside You'll be denied Tune in and swirl With the soul of the world Follow omens They beckon your personal legend Hidden but listen It is written Expectation to learn in words But the model of alchemy's changed Legend through action from what I've observed One hand writes, all prearranged While I've come to peace with my heart and fears Remember some cease to assess these mirrors but Respect for the treasure we each revere Sand, wind, and sun spin in this wondrous sphere I declare life spared surely exhibits design Repair midair purely plan and align Fought for respect from the digits divine Thought but a speck but that hand is mine Highest version of myself conceived My metaphor of lead to gold achieved Scarab brought me closer than perceived And thought to be insane for knowledge I believed Irony of treasure underneath the tree from which I came My loot, wisdom and experience fit into frame As the root of the journey embarked A spark for true love's flame Hold fear inside You'll be denied Tune in and swirl With the soul of the world Follow omens They beckon your personal legend Hidden but listen It is written
