MAGIC

   
Each day my illness' brings me pain,    
On ev'ry nerve it seems to rain.    
The coping of my riddled brain    
Has learned to help me not complain.    
   
I don't say 'woe is me' to self.    
I turn my nose up at the wealth    
That others want more than their health,    
To leave their kindness on a shelf.    
   
But me, I'm writing poetry,    
Embracing thrills' discovery.    
I dream to be a fantasy    
From out of shell, yes!, to be free.    
   
I think myself as light as air,    
A gentle sprite that's hardly there    
With sprigs of honeycomb to wear,    
And flower blossoms in my hair.    
   
From forest top is where I see    
Winged things above the canopy,    
To join in flight I wish to be    
And laugh among the birds & trees.    
   
For this is where the mischief sway    
Is spread with mirth in which I play,    
A riot's life of ev'ry day    
My barefoot jig among the fray.    
   
The forest creatures dance and race    
With wonderment upon each face.    
'Tis I that has them feel the grace    
My magic touching every trace.    
   
This is my happiness profound    
As ev'ry chorus' cheerful sound,    
All rising up and would surround    
My hidden place, my kingdom found.    
   
I only hope that someday soon,    
Across the face of earth a boon    
Will see for all to be in tune,    
To love
not hate from magic's swoon.
