The Struggle for Growth

How Can I?

How can I begin

To understand the spirit

While earth still beckons?

*

How can I hope to

Be reborn from the ashes

As the flames rage on?

*

How can I learn to

Lower the temperature

While steam yet rises?

*

How can I quiet

The hurricane, the tempest,

As the wind bellows?

About the Creator

Maia Gadwall the metAlchemist

I fell in love with speculative fiction and poetry many years ago, but I have precious little time to write any. Then, I went crazy and started a cult called metAlchemy, or meta alchemy. I revere energy of all brands, esp. good, kind chaos.
