Alchemy
by Elaine Polin

I have a tale that must be told
of alchemy and lead to gold;
stay and read as it unfolds,
It’s a story about you!.

Once upon a leaden year,
a poet stumbled and fell near
a golden web, entangled here
With a story about you!.

The web was spun with verbal thread,
on poetry its Spider fed,
soon she found her poems read
In a story about you!.

Then Captain Spider came and took
his captive poet to a book,
asked if she would like to look
At a story about you!.

He sang such sweet, hypnotic songs,
laughed until she found it wrong
to say she would not go along
With a story about you!.

She read your poems about life,
hopes, plans, dreams, war, daily strife,
your words oft cutting like a knife
In a story about you!.

You sang of time and space and Mars,
traveled with her to the stars,
laughed, cried, prayed with no holds barred,
In a story about you!.

She learned our sorrows have an end,
that love and hope may live again,
that she could have real, virtual friends,
This story is for you!
