An ancient Samaritan
Strolls down the sultry streets of Manhattan
Lighting the way with his verve and magic lantern
The cold concrete and cobblestone road
Transforms
Into a heavenly path paved in gold
His gentle glances
Revealing a spectrum of experiences
Juxtaposed through history
Captivating
And full of mystery
The immensity on his face bares great scars and the wisdom of time
Yet a plethora of people walk on by
Blind-sided by their own ego
And looking for the next dollar sign.
When the avaricious caste finally catch a glimpse
Of his vibrancy, calm disposition and indifference
They try and squeeze every drop of blood out of him
But he knows their game
Those loitering, money hungry, leaching types
And remains unaffected by their glut and temporary bites
His quest and journey taking precedence
Focused and unwavering without incident
He speaks a rare and unspoken language
Translating everyday limitations into realisations
Living his values through real life situations
Graced with insight
He foresees that his dreams
Live beyond those Calvin Klein jeans
So he embraces the moon and the night
By distilling the haunted darkness at every sight
Traversing obstacles,
Worldly temptations and red lights
Emerging with freedom
And an awakened heart
He's now on an omniscient path
The universe blessing him with the aurifying art
A life force effervescent and so prophetic
He floods the air with a pervading serenity, it’s magnetic
An altruistic ascetic
Can it be?
Yes, he is in our midst
A living, breathing Alchemist!
