once we hit that age
we are told and learn that magic
magic, it's all a lie
a fairy tale that's just that
make believe
but since when was that true?
isn't their magic in our creativities
executed from deep within our hearts?
it must be magic
for how else could a combination of sounds
ink spilt right on a page
or a series of movement in the right order
twist our guts
pull at the corner of our lips
and make us cry
tuggung at the emotion within us?
and what about chemicals?
surely you cannot deny the magic
in changing something as small as
temperature
or combining powders and liquids
resulting in something new
what isn't magic in the act
of producing something completely new
out of a substance it's not?
like a rabbit out of a hat
because creation is magic
magic has always existed
it's the laugh of a child
it will spark the memories of younger times
it creates the smile on your face
it's the footsteps of them leaving
that pulls the tears out of your eyes
creating the connotations for the future
when you will hear that song
and crumble to the floor with a lump in your throat
where do you think that passion comes from?
when we scream and throw our fists?
don't tell me it's not a miracle
that we don't have to touch another
in order to hurt them most
in order to hurt them the most
magic is always in us
it always has been
humans are magic
you cannot deny it if you take a step back at the world
look what we've created
in a slip of time
we are earthbound, slow creatures
yet we take to the skies
breathe in wonder underwater
where we should drown
we humans bleed emotions and
we humans can conjure up
entire worlds from our imagination
and using just words and our voice
we can connect to characters
that don't even exist
we can change the world in a fraction
and create ones from scratch in an instant
we hold passion, compassion
an outstretched hand
we've always possessed magic within us
yet only some of us choose to believe
