The Wounds Of An Alchemist

God must have spent a little more time creating you 

Enriching you

Moulding the very goodness of heaven into you

Through universal truths entrusted within reality checks and tests that have squared you with character

Polling you on the edges of the karmic compass of life

Severing scars across your head

Which open your third eye and gaze

Onto glances of infinity and grace

You hold your space with a velocity and magnitude of a powerful and ancient warrior.

See you come from the blood lines of African kings, truth seeks and foreseers who are weaved from those divine silk threads, angel cloaks with gemstones and mantra beads on wrists of gold and lead 

Your light and aura is so glorious that it pierces through the fabric of time and space

Where your thoughts, blaze into diamond crusted comets that cut across the Milky Way's haze

So to me you are a gift from the universe

Like both a sunrise that brings in the warmth but also the rains that nourishes my land, my soul.

A spectrum of experiences which creates rainbows of change to colour my skies..

And we are a kaleidoscope of colliding hopes and dreams that stain glass windows with consciousness and awakenings

 The good the bad the ugly conversation on the plane

The deep & meaningfuls that pushed boundaries and make me slightly insane

Everything no one knew about me

You hold with you, you hold it all

You recognise my gaps and fill it with qualia of questions that centre me back

My weaknesses are your strengths 

So my deepest insecurities I have entrusted with you

Because you intimidate them 

You have already broken through them

And me, well I have created more space and freedom within my soul for you to move

More than anyone I ever knew

 I have seen you on all levels 

And I will recognise your being even if you were stripped from the physical season we call life

But to you my friend, life has not been kind

You have wondered through paths like a wounded nightingale

With nothing but an alchemists wisdom and a heart of gold with futuristic visions

 So I tell you that change is not coming, it is a constant vibration,

That you my friend are the deviation.

Because there have been times where you thought your light needed to be extinguished

And those dark spaces are still very much alive and existing

That you manifest them in anxieties  

Where society insists on you folding your shoulders onto burdens & knives

Infesting insecurities so deep seated it’s filled with illusion and lies

And you lose all hope and the feeling of being human

You know Rumi  once said  "The wound is the place where the Light enters you

So I share my gifts from the universe to centre you

The Trident of Shiva, the Golden Fleece, and the Rising Phoenix

You see my has ship has been searching for enlightenment and peace

Smooth sailing across those calm spaces and seas

Boldly venturing into vulnerabilities

Until the day, the day I found my lighthouse 

And he,  he travelled at the speed of light just to guide me home 

Now, my friend, I never feel alone

Because in that moment we connected,

I saw lifetimes flash through your atmic eyes and lenses

So who knows where this friendship starts and ends

It just seems like it’s been existing

With no definition

Just love, kindness and freedom

The real stuff, not like what you see in movies

Because we both have confronted those conditionings

With an acceptance and awareness of souls who have a greater life-purpose

Not just trying to uphold a life-style in society’s circus

So I face my emotional reactions within

Whether it works or not or if we win

And I can now honestly say

I appreciate everything

And expect nothing

Because I adore this friendship and connection 

And hold it with the highest honour and affections

And even though at times I question if it could be anything more

I stop myself because it’s a road I've been down before

And I'm so scared that it will turn this magic and mystery of u and me 

Into a history of something so beautiful that I will never again live to feel or see

So I hold back my feelings from running to places where I can't meditate or pray

And I keep it at love 

I keep everything else at bay

But, tell me my friend does this mean I'm being untrue

And not being real to you…
