They say gold is hidden in lead, <br />there are those who believe so. <br /> <br />They get blind in the shine, <br />siren songs, vain flash, <br />traps in mortal mud. <br />They are impatient alchemists <br />who find shortcuts to nowhere. <br /> <br />The mystery is: Gold does exist, indeed, <br />But that lead which became gold, <br />Never knew there was gold <br />hidden in its nature<br /><br />Luis Gil de la Puente<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/3-human-alchemy/
