Magic

hats_bats

Cynical mind, too long spent being literal, being logical,

the test of time and the proof that it has won.

When you were younger you believed,

you told me

 

Perhaps being sent away did that to you,

forced the mind of an adult, worn down by routine.

When it stopped being cool to be excited

by the little things

 

When we are told we are wrong,

"you're older now, act like an adult".

Is that what vacuums

the last bit of stardust?

 

We forget how it feels as we grow,

until the time the feeling is lost.

Blown away

like ashes in the wind

 

I hope that one day it returns to you.

A small tap on the shoulder,

and maybe you'll see things

in a different way

 

You'll remember the feelings 

you once had when you were young 

you'll feel the warmth, the love, and the hope

and you'll remember

that magic is real
