Magic

Magic

I am sitting on a tree trunk

Sunbeams warming my face

I hear the sounds of this wood

And feel the magic of this place

Morning dew drops softly land

Birds are singing loud and clear

Waking up the frogs and fish 

Sounds arrive from far and near

I’ve heard it all before

But not like I did today

When I look around I see

A hundred different types of green

Soft leaves, long grasses and beautiful trees

More variety than I have ever seen

A deer hops across the land

I sport another one behind a tree

I sit here so very still

And let this woodland just be

I’ve seen it all before

But never in this way

There is a stillness inside me

Like there has only been at night

I don’t have to talk or think 

Today I shine my inner light

There are no hesitations

No doubts, no inner critique

There is no double standard 

No more sorry when I speak

I’ve dreamed it all before 

But dreams did never stay

The forest is letting me know

That dreams really can come true

There is magic everywhere I go

Opening my eyes is all I have to do

I get up from my trunk

Feel the wind touch my skin

I will forever keep this feeling

Of magic deep within
