Alchemy for the Soul
Alchemy for the Soul
~ by Tommy Crawford, March 2017
written inspired by this Cornwall view:
In times of haste.
Of hurry and hassle.
When you feel besieged
From all sides,
I beg you,
I implore you,
Slow down.
Take off your armour.
Place your sword
And shield
On the ground
And sit.
Just sit.
Watch, as your soul
Finally unburdened
Stretches outwards
Across the crashing waves
And upwards,
Dancing among the angels
That will soon guard
The spot where you fall.
To be human
Is to turn your face
To all that wishes
To reveal itself in you.
To be human
Is to let your heart
journey from stone,
To flesh, to dust.
So that when you rejoin
The Great Song
You bring stories of love
And loss, so pure,
So heartbreakingly true,
That even the angels weep,
And from their tears
New oceans are birthed
To thunderous applause.
