What is magic
and where do you find it?
I think it comes from
hearts that open
and minds that sing
when they should
be paying attention.
I think it comes from
eyes that stare out windows
when dishes are
being washed.
What is magic
and where does it come from?
I saw some on a
sparrows wing
yesterday at my window
and a backyard squirrel
chittered spells at me
for hours.
What is magic
and how do you keep it?
Smoke rings have more
substance
and hold the secret
of rainbows just
before they disappear.
I heard the music
as it went round the corner.
I wanted to follow
til it was gone in the night.
beautiful…
Good luck on the contest.
thank you 🙂
Very pretty. I like the line that read smoke rings have more substance. Good luck with the contest and thanks for sharing this with us.
I am not sure if the first one went through. Just wanted to say I really liked the poem.
thanks Tim – sorry about the time it took to get your comments to show – the spam filter had them in jail and I liberated them 🙂
for some reason that second verse really gets me. magic from the mundane, or something like that. beautiful thought.
