The Magician

This world, this world

Of allusion, of natured

Talents occluded by the

Glare of the sun and again

Revealed in the faint

Reflected light of 

Metaphor, of dreams of

Distant vision spoken through

Birdsong, wind gust, skirl

Of rain bursting through

Right there when needed.

This magician's trick of 

Allusion, the greatest trick,

The trick that makes 

This world alive.
