Alchemy of the Soul

Original Submission by Francesco Favetta

Alchemy of the Soul

Beyond the final breath,

at the borders of the immense,

where the stars are tears

of ancient light,

I lead my soul,

naked and without boundaries.

There is no longer darkness

that can harness the flight,

nor silence that does not become

sacred music,

because the entire universe

is the home of the Free Spirit.

On the margins of nothingness,

where time stands still,

I discover that the end

is only a new horizon:

The imprint of life

shines like an eternal sun,

a truth that does not fear

the cold of spaces,

nourished by that Love

which moves all and creates all

and which vibrates, alchemically,

in every atom of my being.

I transcend the form,

I become breath and thought,

primordial fire

returning to its source,

while the heart,

now free from any

weight of the form,

becomes the infinity

embracing itself,

because true freedom

is to dwell in the Eternal.
