Lead Into Gold

Lead Into Gold
Allah, giver of peace:
Your love has transformed me
like an alchemist's dream
of lead into gold.
I was old, bent under the weight
of years of confusion,
but now I stand straight, far-seeing,
light on my feet and gleaming,
golden like a lion's pelt,
a sunrise in my eyes.
