Sehnsucht

Sehnsucht

What is this feeling, with bitter tastes

A homesickness of my lost fates

How to name this pain that dreams escape

A study of passions I cannot sate

Could this wanderlust unburden the soul

from heavy lead to pure sweet gold

What transformations, what could I be

if not restrained by what I see

How to obscure this overcast,

Shadows and memories of times long past,

To long for truth, not recoil in fear

To cut through fog like silvered spear

I follow Mercury, made thrice great

Through dreams, asleep, yet still awake

I crave, I yearn, I search for meaning

The reasons why my heart keeps beating

Let Alchemie know what you thought about this chapter!
