"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a Clod be washed away by the Sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a Promontory were, as well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."
- John Donne

Divine Alchemy
One soul Base, defiled Poured into The fires of Redemption
Pain, death, hate and fear Filthy, useless ashes Fall away, leaving Gold
I like these little mini-poems, you've been doing, You have to be very selective with your words and organization on these tiny poems if you want them to say as much as you are making them say. Great job.

A heart of Gold in all of us...
This is beautiful. Redemption from all the sins and the conversion to 'gold', very thought provoking lines.
Refiner's fire :) Beautiful!
Nicely done!
Oooh, this is lovely -- captivating, the notion of burning away pain, death, hate and fear to leave gold, which I take as love. :)
Its funny how this prompt has for so many of us caused us to write about God... I very much liked yours :)
Nicely done - redemptive fire and and turning baser stuff to gold.
