The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Santiago could have been a priest but he chose to be a shepherd
The only way to go on a grand adventure, and so he got started
The Andalusian shepherd boy, walks with his sheep to the first town
The daughter of a merchant entertains as he awaits her busy father to come around

Days go by and he has this recurring dream
A gipsy interprets of great treasures it seems
Await the boy, buried in the pyramids she deems
To bring some back as payment, she’ll wait in the interim

Should he go to seek, or stay with this girl he likes
He isn’t entirely sure, and then The Alchemist comes by
The spiritual man shares wisdom in the hopes Santiago can decipher
That there’s more to life and if he looks he’ll find what’s the true treasure

But Santiago is ambitious and chooses to go to Egypt
Travel and buried treasure was too enticing to forget
Along the way, he learns life’s lessons that bring him full circle
To The Alchemist’s words and the secrets of this world

The Alchemist is written by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho
A page-turner for sure, but as usual I listened to the audio
Which was read by Jeremy Irons, oh that voice
I was enthralled through the 3 hours, Hey Sheela good choice

Coelho’s writing and Iron’s reading style is effortless
You will be drawn in and you will walk away with nuggets
It will inspire you to trust your heart and follow your dreams
Once done, come share your thoughts on it, please?

Thank you for reading/watching😊
