The Alchemist

Monika Kathuria/Day 6 Poetry Challenge 

Our hero walked through the Meadows,
And he read to the sheep in lovely mountain breeze.
He trod to the newer pastures and the newer lands.
He met new people and sang new songs.
Once he slept under a bush - Sycamore.
He again had this strange dream.
As if a great treasure was in his Destiny!
A Gypsy interpreted his dream,
On a promise, a part of the treasure, she would redeem.
He was led by a mysterious man-
To strange and distant desert lands.

For his voyage, he had to sell all his Sheep.
He was a hero- a brave man indeed.
He started for the distant Pyramids,
He remained true to his inner calling.
Though, not sure where it all would lead.
But, as destiny would have it,
He was robbed of all his money.
He was stuck in a strange land.
Sad, lost, disturbed his world crashed.
He started to work as a salesman.
Soon, he learnt people’s language,
Everything he began to understand.

He realized that the Universe communicated too.
Through signs, intuition and omens too.
Provided we would try and listen!
If we dare to dream,
With our intense conviction.
We will definitely achieve,
The treasures of our destiny!
He started his search for the Treasure,
With a man who was searching for the great alchemist.
Together they crossed the dry desert,
The terrain was difficult, dangerous and rough.
Our hero was victorious, saved lives and won hearts.
After many struggles he reached the Pyramids.
To claim the treasure he had to go back to Sycamore!
So, he realized, the universe conspires
As we strive to follow our dreams,
It ensures that we succeed.
Believe, truly believe,
We are our own Alchemist!
