The Alchemist

first read, then believe

"The Alchemist"

Paulo Coelho

 

alchemy a pagan belief

though not for everyone

it has many adherents

whose hearts it has won

 

 

who knows more about

what this belief can be

probably those believers

maybe you can agree

 

 

when you know in your mind

doubt not what you believe

it should help you find

the power to achieve

 

 

the driving force for you

in that private place within

so essentially your own

where everything will begin

 

 

Paulo's Personal Legend

is yours to fulfill

keep it clear before you

being certain that you will

 

 

the way ahead for you

not an easy route to go

your courage will be tested

challenges will help you grow

 

 

the past is long gone

the future not yet here

you must use the present

to find a way that's clear

 

 

with every challenge met

another is just ahead

going forward you can get

to know how God has led

An original approach to the subject, I assumed alchemy was to do with wisdom and spirituality, instead of paganism. Might wish to check that just to make sure you have it right, where it originated from. Eh? Lovely write though.
