Fragments

⤞alchemy

I create light
from my darkness,
an alchemy of dreams,
and in the depths
of the gloaming,
hope is never as it seems,
yet there is
a lining in silver
to every dull grey cloud,
and if I can
turn it into gold,
I will always be proud
of the way I persevere,
and the mountains
I've scaled,
and when believe in
my aspirations,
it doesn't matter that
I once failed.
