Alchemy
You are alchemy embodied:
a melding of the common,
for the formation of the rare.
So many wish to possess you secret
that they may recreate your perfection,
but your meta-elemented nature
is beyond the confines of man's adolescent logic.
While each of us stands as a monument of accident,
there is purpose to you.
We may defy entropy, but you defy even order.
And so if I am godless, fateless, and without a destiny,
I will place my faith in you, my unknown science.
