Alchemy

The struggle is so familiar 

Almost comfortable now

Not believing it can work out

The daily waffling 

Between hopelessness 

And that head down keep going survival 

Hanging on to hope 

Even when you want to quit

Bob and weave 

Working and moving 

Never quite letting yourself believe 

And so we extend our limbo 

But, you know what?

We don't have to live there anymore 

If we surrender the where, when, how

Move through that fear and resignation 

That tells you to keep the armor up 

If we can give up control of the structure 

Then, finally 

There's breathing room 

For love to live 

For desire and will 

To meet, energized 

Touching and moving all things

Alchemy exists, and magick is 

We are the alchemist and the gold

If we throw off limitations 

Of the mind, the emotions 

And the rules of the five senses 

It all happens 

Hundreds of solutions 

Endless possibilities 

There is great power

Where will and desire

Meld with Energy and Truth

Surrender isn't for the weak 

For only the strongest know 

That releasing the white knuckles

And letting go 

Of "the way it's supposed to be"

Opens the entire Universe for you 

And moves you 

From fate 

To destiny
