THE REBIRTH OF MAGIC

I was utterly mesmerised
I watched and listened
As the crystal bell
Caught me in its spell
As it moved, its up down swing
Filled with colour and dark light
It was almost night

I began to wonder about what
Merlin told me when the light was bright
"I wish you well on your jouney into the shadow!"
He'd said to me

I need to tear down all the old
Need to be rebuilt as I'm told
My need to find light in darkness
Deep self-reflection
Awareness
Courage
Introspection
Divination
Consciousness
Life's occurrence
Stars in sight

I celebrate and praise
The dead spirit, though
Buried my hopes with him
Nobody and nothing
Seems to rejoice me now
Except the world of pretence
Is that really my only chance
The gods don't even deserve my sacrifice
Images transfigured in dark light

Let me make experience of me
I shall approach my soul
Follow my existence
Disembowel the unconscious
Express my verity, hidden or denied
Appearing like my blind enigma, dark inside
Yet stars shine bright
I will find childlike purity again
It's amorality that hurts the false mind

I will essay the elementary pulsations
Those you have secluded in my dreams
Or destroyed with a symbolic castration
I now prepare my magic death
I enter the reign of imagination
I enter the thunder's memory of time

My body revives
My spirit is in peace
My heart is ready
My essence plunges into warm earth
Eloquence

I open my eyes
The crystal bell still swinging
The birds around me singing
I feel the rebirth of magic
I'm alive

My mind blends with the cosmic energy
I raise with the sun
Like a drop of rain towards the wide ocean
I've dreamt of a winged snake
Encircling the earth
And a mountain of crystal
Bearing the child of an old witch

I look at myself in a black mirror
Magically I feel my new magic strength
Enliven the blood time had frozen in my veins
Now I follow the brightness of my mind
Since now I revive
No silence dominates my heart
No fear can suffocate my shout
I live with new desires
That come true with the heat of fire
I close my circle
Lighting the candles of stars

I open my eyes
The crystal bell still swinging
The birds around me singing
I feel the rebirth of magic
I'm alive

I celebrate my rebirth of magic
