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

SHE

She walks through the empty park

more or less no one there

emotions surface in her

she smells the roses on her way



None smell like those she had in mind

like the ones the weekend behind

she'd picked them up then

after a lover's night, the day so bright



Why can't the time for once stand still

her cry not heard, gone with the wind

she walks on to rivers edge, forlorn

in burning thoughts of yesterday



The loves that came and went away

and by the harbor she sits down

the tears run down her cheeks by now

her heartbeat echo's flowing low



A Gull flies by, lands next to her

it brings her back to now and here

slightly she smiles, yet misses yesterday

where will she lay her head today



The lonely hours wait for her, returns

her thoughts to gone by past, internally

she wants to hug him, hold him tight

remember that very last night



Where she sat on his lap and talked

of all the things that bonded them

where is it gone the feel of safety

she feels closeness gone to eternity



She hopes that all the sadness part

smiles with the sun, though it is hard

she streches out her hands to heaven

oh Universe please hear her voice



If she could turn the clock back now

she'd do it instantly, presently, but how

yet that's a dream cannot make true

yesterday just gone and rushed away



The longing stay's deep in her soul

she feels this waste of time alone

and walks on to go and see if she can

find the silent peace somewhere within



And in the skies she looks above

the Gulls fly by with sounding clamour

was it the wind, the breeze made her

feel touched deep down below inside



She stands and looks and hugs herself

as if holding on to once deserved

he who took away her lonely hours

will he come back, she doesn't know



It's just her wish, she wants him so

want's him to laugh and hug her soul

the warmth of hands that touched within

the very secrets of her being
