Alchemist

Alchemist, why did you settle

with the ephemeral gratification

which the oasis did offer

you lost the want for something more better?

You were a warrior

of battle of compelling times

a fearless sailor

navigating through ruthless tides

you're not meant to rest

you're yet to unravel the best!

Metals still aren't gold

an ignorant world

awaits a hero

to find them

the philosopher's stone

you can't quit in the middle

riddle doesn't want to remain a riddle!

The light in your passion

got a bit dimmer,

the faith, the belief

rusty, they lost the earlier shimmer,

Situations will bend

for a determined legend

Universe will conspire

If only you rekindle

the conviction, the infectious fire!

You were the traveller of desert

a capricious, aggressive place

the mirages couldn't detour

the caravans couldn't halt

a detached soul

you kept your own pace

Why now the webs of complacency

are holding you back

from running your own destined race!

The best landscapes

lie on the miles

you did not go,

Destiny far ahead

in the lands

you do not know,

Don't let the victory

of reaching the milestone

blur your vision,

fool you short and

deviate from the larger mission,

Don't let your dreams go frail

You have much to learn

Resume your journey

you're far from the Holy Grail!
