Oh… so I’m one of the lucky ones?
who get to witness magic
seeing things I can’t explain  

the veil may slip for me
even in the morning light
the moon itself dissolves
into the sun before my eyes

and I can’t help but laugh because
it’s magic  

whose heart is any less than full
needs magic in their lives
you’ll feel like a child
see the world through sparkling eyes
once you lose control  

you’ll find  
you’re cradled on the breeze
and nature glows with ease  

forests teem with fairies
oceans overflow
as Atlantis rises  

life is an eruption
as hands shoot from the earth
in a fleeting second
attempting to grasp at the heavens  

we are so young
so temporary
so beholden to something  
so much grander than us  

but it beholds us too
“half moon, in the morning sky

I guess the other half’s tucked away

in a blanket of blue

as our little nocturnal angel

cuddles up for a nap”

I look up from being engrossed in my inner monologue to see the moon has disappeared.
