Sacred Alchemy

We carry so much baggage burdening down

With the weight of reasoning mind's profundity,

Our vital appetites and indulgences,

The heroic godhead struggling to break free.

If only we could focus on the flame

Of aspiration burning at our core

Repeat the mantric word, invoke the Name,

Install within the image we adore.

Earth in its subtle atmosphere prepares

A new material body for its king,

Omnipotent, inviolate and pure.

From eternal realms the grace unperishing

Shall fashion us by a sacred alchemy

Make earth aware of its true divinity.
