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.

Thanks for linking up with potluck.
G' Day From Australia, I found this poem very soulful and spiritual at the same time. Very enjoyable indeed.
Oh, Lyn, I really love this piece - it's just wonderful xxo
Nice poem, let that wizard keep working that miracle time and again
I like the last verse, seeing your soul. The idea of your soul being your wizard is clever too.

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!
Wonderful Lyn, especially the phrase "My soul is the wizard of my life,"
"I am my present
and my past,
carrying my numbered lives,
a bundle of used up magic."
Such beauty in your words! I love this piece!
