Not Here

There's courage involved

 if you want to become truth. 

 There is a broken open place in a lover.  

Where are those qualities of 

bravery and sharp compassion in this group? 

 What's the use of old and frozen thought? 

 I want a howling hurt.  

This is not a treasury where gold is stored;

 this is for copper.

We alchemists

 look for talent

 that can heat up and change. 

 Lukewarm won't do. 

Halfhearted holding back, 

well-enough getting by?  

Not here
