Mists of Alchemy

the mists of alchemy

the secrets of life
are revealed in silence
from the bones things arise
from the blueprint of your soul

mists rise up
when your fire has moved
below the cauldron
and your water
is sitting on top

prompting a process
of fast detoxification
speedily
both darkness and ecstasy
move onward
so does dust, and belonging

darkness yawns in my face
it is bored with itself
yet needs my help
to cross over, pass on.

the mists of alchemy
I let them cleanse me
absorb
the shadows & light
of the dance of my soul.
