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.

This is one way to relieve the pain and you've conjured a world where it's refused entrance.
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.
There's joy in these lines Jade. And I love the rhyme scheme! I never seems forced, but playful as can be. Fine work!

Beautifully magical piece, perfectly titled.
"I think myself as light as air
A gentle sprite that's hardly there" Those lines stuck out to me especially, they really hit me hard.
Great poem, Jade. Talented pen as usual.
