By ancient gaze, you’ve seen far more than I,
So guide my steps, what must I do, reply?
“To do? To do just what?” you ask with grace.
To grip life tight, lest I disperse, efface
With dust that claims us at the final sigh.
“In death’s embrace, our beauty lies, it’s true,
The quest is yours alone to seek, pursue.”

In the sanctum of the psyche’s gaze,
A transformative spark is slyly cast,
Upon the unyielding stone of the status quo.
It germinates in the somber night, unseen,
A force that shall redefine the realm of the known,
A potency that cannot be restrained or confined.
The alchemical power of transformation,
Is a force that can uproot mountains, rearrange,
The topography of life, the heart’s domain.
It murmurs to the spirit, “It’s time to evolve,”
To discard the husk of the past, to resolve,
Into something novel, to take flight, to absolve.
In the crucible of metamorphosis,
The soul expands, the mind contracts,
To accommodate the new, to embrace the paradox.
The alchemical power of transformation,
Is a passage, a quest, a cosmic exchange,
Of the old for the new, the mundane for the arcane.
It’s the caterpillar’s grand metamorphosis,
The seed’s descent into the abyssal void,
The birth of the butterfly, the flower’s first kiss.
It’s the dawn’s resolute breaking, the light that pierces the night,
The silent revolution that ignites,
The spark of existence, the fire of the fight.
The alchemical power of transformation,
Is a boon, a bane, a destiny’s dance,
A force that can mend, that can shatter, that can advance.
So let us not dread the transformation that comes,
For it is in the shift that we find our strength,
In the alchemy of change, our true selves to confront.
Embrace the power that can liberate thee,
For in the transformation, opportunity lies,
To become the finest version of who you can be.
“We can’t be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don’t have something better.”
