Did you know magic is real?
I didn’t
I thought it was like the movies
but I am a trained scientist
the two have trouble
getting along
Then all the structured walls
came crashing down around me
like never knowing water
and being cast into the sea
in all of the chaos
a glimmer appeared
I did not know what it was
but I knew that I knew
what it was
the old one inside of me
cracked open an eyelid
and was flooded with relief
Some live and die
having never seen that glimmer
or ignoring it if they do
But my white-knuckled hands latched onto it
like it was a life raft
which it indeed was
that glimmer of light and dark
life force
spark of creation
