The Alchemist

What I was

has made me

what I is --

has set me here

on the brink of

what might be.

Stepping forward

while looking back

-- teetering --

always on the

point of now.

The task at hand:

to rise above

the back and forth

of then and when

to focus on the

bigger map.

To somehow reinvent

what’s done is done

into come what may.

**The original concept of alchemy was the search for true purity of anything it is used on and most importantly the alchemist himself.
