Open your eyes if you care
You’ll find magic everywhere
Magic in the trees that grow
Magic in the falling snow
Magic in the gentle breeze
Magic in the stinging bees
Magic in a baby’s laugh
In a yellow tall giraffe
Magic in the morning light
In the darkness of the night
Magic in a friend we trust
In a bookshelf full of dust
Magic in the texts you send
In a free-from-work weekend
Magic in the drops of rain
In the chugging of a train
Magic in the bed you lay
Magic in the songs you play
Magic in the clouds above
Magic in the thing called love
If you see these things as plain
You must surely be insane
Month: January 2023
Fill This Year
Fill this year with one fire
The fire sparked by love
No other thing I may desire
From any being above
Fill the months with her thoughts
Thoughts that make time fly
‘Cross a range of cosmic dots
Far beyond the sky
Fill the days with her words
That sweet music to my ears
Sweeter than the sound of birds
Till darkness disappears
Fill the hours with her smell
Scent that’s made to last
The dreamy captivating spell
That only she can cast
Fill the minutes with her sight
The purest joy there is
Joy that pumps my eye’s delight
My soul’s eternal bliss
Fill each second with her touch
As our hearts combine
If time should always pass as such
The year shall go by fine
