The words of magic
can be seen in lines of searching ants,
in the spiral of a snail’s shell,
in the veins of a leaf.
The words of magic
can be spoken in verse,
yawned into a pillow,
humoured in the bath.
The words of magic
can be expressed through dance,
placed in heavy footsteps,
sounded in a run.
The words of magic
can live on our skin,
reside in our blood,
beat with our heart.
The words of magic
are never far away.
Check over your shoulder
and greet them with a smile
on the play of the wind.
