Alchemy

[ Song to listen click here ]

Deep beneath
the chaos of
our lives

far beyond
the realms
of possibility

two spinning
coins

the eagle’s
flight

high above
the numbness

of futility.

Misunderstood ‘n
misaligned

we’re calcinated
burnt to ash

dissolved
dissected

vilified
ego into

essence
then the ride

distil
the fool

to gold
‘conjunctio’.

A paradox
a paradigm

just
two birds
perching

on a wire.

We journey
south

we journey
north

you spiel
of probability,

a bitter
wind

the church
bells chime

coagulate
the perfect

rhyme
fire & earth

water’s life
the air we seek

to breathe
us inward.
