The Alchemist

All around us,

Yet easy to miss;

Shrouded in mist,

The only Alchemist;

She is as old as time,

But has eternal youth;

Her skill always prime,

Her work speaks truth;

Her lab is the universe,

Her method, very terse;

With chemicals, only four,

She creates worlds and more;

Take a bow!

At her colorful rainbow;

Lo and behold!

She turns rock to gold;

The earth her bowl,

Filled with salty sea,

With winds that howl,

And lightning to stir,

She found the elixir of life.

The Invisible Enemy

You run hard and fast,

Hoping danger won't last;

But the enemy is not far,

He runs as hard and is near;

You build a fortress,

From enemies visible;

Deadlier are those,

That are invisible;

In fear of the unknown,

you almost drown;

Fight fear and dethrone,

Take back the crown.

Sorcerer Supreme

Lightning fast, glacier slow,

He leaves you in shock,

And doubt the clock,

The invincible illusionist;

You find him, if you like him,

You hate him, you won't find him;

Elusive to sneak a peek,

Wizard of hide and seek;

Pal stealer, this thief,

Can give you grief;

Yet he is also a healer,

Mends your broken heart;

A hard taskmaster,

Gives you testing times,

If you are his apprentice,

Shows you a good time;

Time is only one,

But dons many a mask;

Eternal in existence,

The Sorcerer Supreme.

Frame

Invincible and imposing,

The mountains stand mighty,

Cool and calmly flowing,

The river seems saintly;

Yet, the river keeps hitting,

Unruffled and steady,

At the hills so daunting,

And has its way, finally.

Although hard and rocky,

The mountain loses frame;

The river keep its frame;

Creates canyons and valleys.

Combats and threats,

Life throws aplenty,

Keep your frame,

Have your fame!

The Blue Bird

Like the glistening sun,

On the blue ocean,

I saw a bright blue bird,

Her dulcet chirp, I heard;

I waved my hand,

Slowly she came to land,

Eyes brown like mine,

At first gaze, deeply entwined.

Rapt by my gesture,

She came out to venture;

Like in a trance,

For a joyful dance;

By the river, by the sea,

She flew with me;

Sometimes like a charm,

Perched on my arm;

Although she loved me

Stroke her golden plume,

It wouldn't last many a day,

She had to fly far away;

With a peck on the finger,

So loving, it still lingers

She flew from my window sill,

Into the sunset on the hill.

The Magical Mirror

Once upon a time,

In the mystic mountains,

I got a mirror for a dime,

From a wise man.

He said, "When you are unclear,

The right way, you want to know,

Then, look into the mirror,

The truth, it shall show"

I was filled with pleasure,

To find such a treasure,

Always knowing the right way,

Reaching the top is the only way;

One day, a problem I faced,

Confused, I took out the mirror,

I waited, but I saw nothing,

Except my face, only closer;

One plain day, I saw a glum chap,

One fine day, I saw a glad man,

In the pit of problems some times,

Atop the range of ideas few times;

I realized slowly, the more,

I wanted to see the confident man,

On the little mirror, he showed up more,

And he was a man with a plan;

After all these years,

His words, echoed in my ears,

'What you see , is what you get,

If you get what you see, you have no regret'

The mirror shows who you are,

You are who you think you are;

Your mindset is your reality,

The world reacts to your vitality.

Traveler

The world moves backward,

As you move forward,

Splendid stories unravel,

When you travel;

In the sky, on the sea,

You can be an aviator,

You can be a sailor,

When you are a traveler;

Overcome danger,

With a band of strangers,

Be a star in a thriller,

Be a traveler;

Born to explore,

It's your primal desire,

A cocktail of novelty,

Awaits a thirsty traveler.
