Alchemy

We live in a world of endless need;
Safeguard your inner light,
Lest its shadows consume you.
Learn to use wisely your sacred fire,
So the world knows only your joy.
Stir the embers of possibility,
The ashes of yesterday’s failure.
To conjure takes an act of courage,
To set alight a fragile new song.
Tend the flames carefully.
Lift intention ever higher!
Feed and tend the sacred fire!
Act upon your heart’s desire
And heal the broken world.
Into the nothing pour your heart!
Use your power, make a start!
Manifest your bliss, your art,
And fill the world with beauty!
