Moving company

Furniture tetris
Three hundred pounds
Handoff at the window
Run around
Set er down
Go
Down the hill
Full send it
Brothers in arms

Alchemical Transformation Poems

I want to share 5 poems I wrote, one in each of the alchemy stages. I included a poem for what I perceived as "the moment" of awakening. Perhaps it will resonate or assist in understanding.

Nigredo

Words too dark to share
Words too dark to speak out loud
Capture to dissect

Awakening

The ego is dead.
Throne sits empty
Flames spring from head
All hail new me

Albedo

Mind, body and soul
Align with violent shock
Demons make last stand

Citrinitas

Inside of my mind
Holding a big free hugs sign
Demons come unwind

Rubedo

To feel life's rhythm
To witness all and still act
I am poetry

All are my original works. Copyright Ira Miller. Share away but give me credit, please. 🙏
