Alchemy
by Jayme L HelmickThe wolf in me
Devours me
To create something new
A kaleidoscope of rainbows dance
Where I used to be
A white guardian embraces me...
With the sun in my heart
And the moon for a crown
I fight through salty life
and crash against waves of
chaos
Erupting from flames of renewal
(The breast of the Mother)
I am left changed
Shaken
Torn
Refined
Full from the feast
And ready to begin again.
I am frightened
of this new world
this new me
but I must step boldly
For I know
I am not alone
Not without hope
Not without power
My wings unfurl
in the dark
As I dust off the ashes
And rise again,
To meet another me.
Welcome, 2011, and blessed be. 01/01/2011 Posted on 01/01/2011
