Allegorical Alchemy

When you make it to the midway station,

You’re still left with halve the transformation.

When you fought the thoughts that kept you under,

You still have to find the thoughts of wonder.

Mental states require a reaction:

Neutralizing thoughts for your extraction.

Motivating concepts to inspire

Must be used to get you even higher.

You escaped a heavy lead condition.

Using silver thoughts for your transition.

But, upon relief, don’t simply settle.

States of bliss include a greater metal.

Carry the momentum when embolden

To reach for a mental state that’s golden.

Use the alchemy of your conversion

To include a higher state incursion.

Once you’ve left the realm of your frustration,

Head to the dominion of elation.

Turn gold!
