The Alchemy of TRUTH

demanding are the many tasks at hand

a perception, a plan, action in command

intention and focus be the alert of the day

the gift of time and a knowing provide the way

how sweet when vision is newly held clear

when the din of despair is silenced and gone the fear

how comforting is this moment's embrace

when within heart, love the soul does place

how knowing is this Spirit's call

when resounding with the grace of ALL

the clamor and chaos hushed they be

felt is the gentle, the gentle peace within me

many a story yet to be told

the alchemy of truth to unfold.

alchemic moment

gold be this ribbon of light

...of night...

gold and indigo
hue of alchemic splendor
crowning jewel of night.

Alchemy

With rhyme and reason many a story be told
Of visions, dreams, conquest and gold
The questing soul the heart of desire
Passions, alchemy, flame and fire
No trepidation be there in this heart mine
For alchemy be the WILL of light divine.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Winning Score

Beyond the bronze, silver and gold
Is a vision set a story told
Many an hour of practice and play
Marking time for an honored day
Yet within each moment the heart does shout
It is the NOW that it is all about
A journey, a path, a destined you
Marked by what you choose to do
Postpone not your victory and conquest
See it in each moment you do your best
A belief, a dream, a goal
With it your willing paid toll
And with triumph and the winning score
A new journey and one step more.
