Look not to find magic and miracles
Performed as conjurers’ illusions
Pandering to credulity
Deep-veiled in allegory
Surpassing logic’s reach
Alchemy’s true gift
Already yours
Lead to gold
Golden
Child
Seek
Secrets
Long buried
Hidden beyond
Imprisoning flesh
Balanced and harmonised
Ego-girt the soul awaits
Relinquishing illusive bonds
Sacred marriage of earth and spirit
Encompassing Light of eternity
Double etheree for Colleen’s poetry challenge.
Illustrations from ‘Atalanta Fugiens’ by Michael Maier (1617)
