IT’S MAGICAL ALL

As my eye sweeps across
this morning canvas anew,
the magic of this beautiful day
comes clearly into view.
It began before the rising sun
as the birds welcomed me
in their sweetly musical way.
And the magic continued
as Dawn greeted Day,
the sun rising up over
the eastern mountain peaks,
the magic of morning
transporting me away.

But mornings aren’t always
exactly like that;
there are certainly some days
when the sun doesn’t shine
and I can’t hear the songs
that the morning birds sing.
But on those days
which are, thankfully, rare,
there’s still magic to be made
and a smile to be found;
and I know exactly
where I can go
to create my own magic
and capture that elusive smile;

All within my imagination,
and so easy to find,
those images and memories
that captivate my mind;
I find ice castles and moonlight,
and iridescent dreams.
I find the wind dancing
through the leaves in the trees.
And I hear soothing rhythms
and melodies of spring,
sweet music of my days
bringing magic to my soul.
And within bubblegum wishes
and butterflies’ wings,
there’s magic to be found
in each day
and each night,
as made for me
or making my own,
it’s magical all.
