Magic Box

                      I have this secret box
            where wonderful surprises appear
                  day after day I look inside
               to see what magic has arrived

              magic things that pull my strings
                     and help me to see clear
                    it is a strange day indeed
           when I look and find nothing inside

         mystical words and heavenly thoughts
                     sometimes perfect art
             music that does capture the ear
                     and send my soul aloft

           incredible views of natures beauty
                   that penetrates the heart
              gazing down on a beautiful face
                       with lips so very soft

                      today like any other day
                 I have rushed to peek inside
                 but this is one of those days
                 where disappointment grows

                   little of any consequence
                 or interest has me satisfied
               today the Magic Box is empty
                  I'm sure my sadness shows

               I suppose this is the realization
                that before was just a dream
            that magic only appears to those
                  that are looking for a star

              to wish upon and dream about
                   this digital super stream
               if the magic should reappear
                     I will secure it in a jar
