more than just 2 lines
I got a compliment on the 2 line poem i posted, which didn’t make sense until i looked at the page. I had put in 2 complete poems and then it crashed. When i started it back up the poems were still there so i hurriedly published and lo and behold 2 lines. Second times the charm….
Magic
I believe in magic and god and all good things
I believe in the power of the soul
To touch the mindlike basis of material reality
And so become the whole
I believe in angels and fairies and listening to canaries
When they say the mine’s gonna blow
Watching for signs and divining designs
And knowing which way to go
############
I believe that the universe exists
For i have seen and heard parts of it
I have tasted of the summer fruit
And smelled the coming rain
Felt the gentle breeze
As it rolled across the plain
Not first in nobodies’ heart
We walk this world alone
Like a single set of polar bear tracks
Covered by the blowing snow
We are destined to live out our lives
And then it is our lot to die
Never knowing what will be our fate
When we leave this world of lies
But i believe that i am body, soul and spirit
For i have lived and loved and felt the One
I have felt the power of god
And danced with a spirit
Felt my soul leave my body
To touch someone near it
Not first in nobodies’ heart
We walk this world alone
Like a single set of polar bear tracks
Covered by the blowing snow
We are thinking machines
But so much more
We carry the spark of the divine
And our souls can live for all eternity
Look to your dreams for the sign
I was checking to make sure the site was still up and I noticed a missing half line so i changed it in edit. I guess third time really is the charm.
Mike! What a refreshing poem. Thanks for sharing. I can very much imagine you reciting it. I’m glad I visited your blog – it always makes me feel better. “felt my soul leave my body to touch someone near it” :o)
