Magic

New/unpublished poems 1 Comment »
I am
intangible grace
granting wishes
fairy flakes
dusting your dreams,
I am
even when you think I’m not
I am
even when you lose sight of me
I am
even when you deny my power,
I am
ancient rituals
fantastical notions
hallucinations,
jar-bound genies
talismans
words of yearning.

I was in the future.

I will be in the past.

I am
present
on your journey
at your side
in your heart.

    *I love this pondering of 'magic' in a way far from Disney or other popular fiction. As mythology keeps us aware of the fantastic ideas lost in time, you have brought magic into this very moment! I Love it :-)

    *Aw thanks for that... yes, I wanted to acknowledge the power and pervasiveness of magic, but without clichés. xo
