FORGOTTEN MAGIC:


What’s become of forgotten & magical things?

All those small, insignificant & discarded things,

Shells of long gone snails & old firefly´s wings,

Bees who have flown away & lost their stings.

 

What´s become of those hoary nighted gowns?

Spun of spider´s webs, upon old mossy downs,

Within moonlit hedgerows, upon nature´s looms,

Knitted in hopes & promises, upon raven´s tombs.

 

What´s become of  bronze lizard´s discarded tails?

Of mermaid´s purses & spewed breath of whales,

Of ancient witches prayers & toad´s silken spawn,

And what about the elk´s & Pan´s dropped horns?

 

What´s become of that magic, lost & now forgotten?

In the annals of time & mulch, gone, now so rotten,

Yet within the mind´s eye, still so alive, so very real,

So easy to find, to see, to hear & easier yet to feel.
