Gold

Posted on August 14, 2020 by Sue Vincent

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
