ALCHEMY II


Moving thru time, embryonic in passage;
silently retrograding; semi-conscious, retrogressing.
Second sight appears at first as if in a dream..
a dim light growing brighter, flickering wider,
sparking solace,
igniting a feeling like no other before
impacting like the colliding of a sun and moon.
Successive lightning strikes awakening
sleepy fishes from their watery womb,
now swimming side by side in current stilled
whirlpools spinning down, down,..
                                                           ...d                             
                                        o
                                                 w
                                                         n
to the depths of the ocean's floor,       
implanting there the core of a much more spiritual sun
shining upon what will surely be unforgettable and undeniable
if now unattainable truths.
Thru the casting of long shadows,
thru kelp, and behind the curtains drawn,
lie undying reasons for the rhyme, for the despair,
but also for striving toward the dawn.
