MAGIC!!

Its a magic world around i see,
a magic chest with a magic key...
a little here and some more there,
a lotta magic for everyone to share...

the magic of love of which all know,
the very reason for that warmth,that glow...
the one which keeps us smiling all through,
that eternal magic of an 'i love u'...

the magic of hope which keeps alive a spark,
enough to rekindle a fire in the dark...
the hope that a better tomorrow awaits,
a 'tomorrow' which wont succumb to our fates...

the one which heals broken hearts ever since...
the magic which can change a pauper to a prince,
one which can make millions from a well saved dime,
that my friend, is the magic of time...

one which can move great mountains they say,
and can only grow stronger with each passing day...
something which tells us its never too late,
that something is the magic of faith...

the magic which comes with a friendship dear,
is the love of a friend,the company of a peer...
u can count on it but hurt it never,
cos if broken it may vanish forever...

and so i say its a magic world out here,
just enjoy it and let go of every fear...
each second will bring to u a magic new,
but remember,the real magic is the one within u...


(as u must have noticed, ive pretty much fallen in love with the word 'magic'... *grin*)

We can look on life in two ways. There's the wrong way. Then there's yours.

Hello Islander –

This is a note to tell you I’m genuinely happy to see you on the Island. I founded the Island originally as a temporary destination for those of us set adrift when Poetry Thursday sunk. But the Island has flourished… because of writers, like you, who come to enjoy the tropical breeze, and just write -- for the sheer pleasure of it! So, the beaches remain open, and all are most welcome!

Poetry Thursday is now ReadWritePoem. Check them out if you haven’t. The crew at Totally Optional Prompts is doing a fine job. Both are excellent writing destinations.

I am slowed a bit with back pain. This has hampered my time at my computer -- so, I have not been able to read many of the posts. I will catch up when I’m steadier at the helm. I am dictating this to my wife, who will kindly post it for me. Kathy is a dear!

See you on the island. I have a prompt for this Friday I think should spark some fun and interesting writing.

May your muse be kind…

…Rob
W.I.
