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.

Oooh, this is lovely -- captivating, the notion of burning away pain, death, hate and fear to leave gold, which I take as love. :)

Fire purifies and refines, burns away the dross and leaves the heart of gold. Nice take on the prompt.
