The alchemist

In secret chambers, hidden away

The alchemist toils, night and day

Seeking secrets, ancient and true

To transform base metals, anew

With crucible and flask, they strive

To conjure gold, and capture life

Their quest, a dream, a burning fire

That drives them on, through every desire

Through trial and error, they refine

Their art and craft, a subtle design

A dance of elements, a play of force

As they seek the hidden, mystic source

In the Great Work, they find their goal

The Philosopher's Stone, their heart's soul

A symbol of wisdom, gained through strife

And the transformation of life

Through alchemy's ancient, mystic way

They seek to transform, night to day

The lead of ignorance, to gold refine

And find the treasure, divine and mine

In the alchemist's journey, we see

A reflection of our own destiny

A quest for growth, for wisdom true

A transformation, waiting to break through.
