Behold Alchemical Gold!

The Fool from the Tarot.

Behold Alchemical Gold!

~

Death feasts upon my worn-out bones,

and I must bear this dematerialization!

Alchemical Gold by solve et coagula,

dissolve and Coagulate is the formula.

~

The Crucible can be an intolerable process,

but in the end it feels like drunken bliss;

elemental identity must be compounded,

we must cross+over, four triangulated!

~

Crucifixion is the way back to Heaven,

all must bear Death and Resurrection!

First we become four elements plain,

language modes that define a human.

~

Fallen, we are "of the soil" mortalized,

and fire is the key to becoming uncoiled;

 but we are grounded in emotional minds,

the creative flame so hard to understand.

~

"I come to bring fire upon the earth."

So sayeth Christ, holding GOD's wrath!

Prometheus gifted fire from the Bush,

that we might become Metallical gods.

~

Whoever can navigate the Underworld,

must learn the mythic tongue of fire well;

to forge a Grail and half-fill it with Wine,

by writing in symbolical Blood divine.

~

One more language is at last required,

before Gold can be photosynthesized;

a Green Man on a Green Sun reborn,

Speaks in one Word of the Grammaton!

~

I have survived the unbearable Crucible,

to show how the Mind beholds the Gold;

the Observer must tame the Red Dragon,

a Pearl from the Wave of Spirit Stoned!

~*~

Voice of the Logos.

Immaculate Language of One Word.

~

One GOD, like a trinitarian CLOUD,

GROUND of Being, LORD of the VOID:

Grammaton, Canvas, YHWH, Silence,

One WHO Speaks with just one Voice.

~

Hardest and easiest Language to learn,

with just one Word completes Salvation:

our eternal Bread, OverSoul of all Souls,

alchemical Sulfur and Stone of the Wise.

~

All opposites united by the Holy Priest,

alchemical Wedding of Sun and Crescent.

Lift up your Grail with Wine and Host,

Speak with the Voice of the risen Christ!
