Blue veins across my porcelain skin,
  like cracks across marble
No wonder I am stone cold…
  Is it a reflection of my fractured soul?

What is it about you?
You sparkle with gold
How is it that you make
  my heart sing so?
I breathe you in and feel peace,
  calm, tranquility
My heart is full of love and
  my soul is at peace
I have no need to know the future
I am completely intoxicated
  with here and now
You are my home, my sanctuary,
  my beloved hearts desire
        — Magi

A whisper... I, remember when

A roar... I, remember when

A sudden swirl of warmth and pain

Yes... I remember too

It’s you

It has always been you

I have searched forward and backward in time

It has always been you

I remember

I remember, joy, ecstasy, pain

Is it the pain we love?

You say I see gray-blue-green
I imagine dance and feel gray-hope-ecstasy
How do I explain how color is emotion
Do we speak the same language?
             — Magi

Trees
With outstretched limbs
like arms reaching
to the sky in gratitude
giving praise for the day
Teach me too
to be grateful like you
Teach me to soak up the sun
and to be green and alive
with the memory of thankfulness

              — Magi

Did you think that I had
  forgotten and did not know
Did you think I had forgotten
  the knowing in my soul
Was anyone told or was it just
  your secret and mine?

I must believe that you believed
  that you were doing the right thing
But when the truth is buried
  one must dig themselves out of a grave

You then live a lifetime
  deprived of oxygen and light

Others thinking you are strange
  you are different a blight
Not understanding how
but knowing they are right

Was anyone told or was it just
  your secret and mine?

        — Magi

I remember when I had two lovers.
One was named Wind and the other Sun.
My favorite memory together was on a warm spring day.
Wind caressing my check with a cool breeze and gently
running fingers through my dark curly hair.
Sun gently kissing my shoulders and caressing my body with
his warmth. I miss them so.
            — Magi

The world is in chaos and I am at peace
How strange to view chaos
   from outside looking-in
Looking at all the confused masses in despair
Where is my compassion?
       — Magi

me so naïve to believe i could trust you
with my nakedness, my soul
me so naïve to trust again and again
i am comfortable with the pain of it
but cannot bear how Naked i feel
         — Magi

Be silent so that you can hear your heart and tune into your
intuition. Listen to your heart and intuition to discover your
Bliss.

listen within
silence + listening = heart & intuition
Follow your heart, listen to your intuition
heart + intuition = Bliss

   — Magi

Mother Nature shouted… Enough! Enough!
You need to slow down, be still, be quiet.
I need to breathe.
You are so ungrateful for all the gifts I have given.
I am exhausted and need to rest.
She had tried to get our attention before; earthquakes,
Tornados, locusts. Even the tsunami had little effect on us.
So she unleashed Pandemia and the world was silent.
The world was silent for days.
The days turned into weeks, turned into months.
The foxes came out to play.
Blue returned to the sky.
The fishes returned to the rivers.
Will we remember to be thankful?

   — Magi

I love how you dance
   in the wind
Lithe limbs
   moving to-and-fro
To the beat of
   an unheard drum
Beautiful Mesquite
Shaped like a women
Dancing in the breeze
Waving to the sun
Beautiful Mesquite
    --- Magi

I hold up a mirror and
reveal what you are
   and you lash out at me
It is your reflection not mine

    --- Magi

I once was a fierce warrior
I would have given my life for yours
I remember fighting back-to-back, side-by-side
I would have given my soul for yours
I no longer have anything to fight for
I am free

   --- Magi

Sometimes the sun feels just like a lover
Warm kisses on shoulders and checks
Playing with shadow on skin, warm and cold
So cold, disappearing under a cloud

   --- Magi
