Wizardry...



The theme for Poetry Potluck this week is Magic & Miracles, Wonder and Wizardry!  Sounds very tempting!!



WIZARDRY


We all live in the trick 
of our bodies,
draped in skin
that will fold like a fan.

A radiance resides
within my heart,
it keeps at it
till I head off,

and then it's free
to make the hurdle

into the light
and wait for its next adventure.

My soul is the wizard of my life,
enlightening the way
of all my fancies,
imagined or painted,
or prayed for
or written.

I am my present
and my past,
carrying my numbered lives,
a bundle of used up magic.

And then I see my soul again,
leaving the stage
when I depart.

    I am my present
    and my past,

    I like the last verse, seeing your soul. The idea of your soul being your wizard is clever too.

    Very profound thinking here... we are all holding our own magic within, if we only let it dance on the wind...

    Lovely, Lyn! That penultimate stanza says everything. Unfathomably, I was thinking along magical lines myself at the weekend and must see if I can build something out of it!
