ALCHEMY

Five days after cloudy skies roll in,

Four from the edge of rain’s soft veil…

I count the drops and wait for gray to thin,

I count the hours of metal, white and pale.

Each street becomes a mirror to my doubts,

reflecting dreams more innocent than bold.

I shout for joy when sunlight parts the clouds.

My silver world has turned from lead to gold.
