Philosopher's Stone...

Saw a saying that struck a chord
     and the music that becomes
     my poetry began to play;
"What is impossible
     when even the word says,
     I am possible?..."
A Parable within a Parable,
     a Lesson within a Lesson,
     for sometimes,
     there is no second-guessing
     or hindsight,
     just Foresight or Foreshadow
     of things that might
     come to matter Tomorrow...
Without a healthy body
     the rest falls to Decay;
     the Mind cannot focus,
     the Brain on auto-pilot
     but still cannot find its way;
     there must be Stasis,
     a base from which you command
     that which is only yours alone,
     meant only for your hands...
Find your tools to do more
     than Survive,
     ask little of others
     but do as much as you can;
     it has taken me years
     to come to some conclusions
     but beginning to understand
     those who you can rely on
     are always there before
     you need the helping hand...
