The Sky Full of Stars
Magic,
You feel it
When you but breathe this sacred word.
Sacred, pilgrims travel far
To taste it.
Sparks,
To flee from it
Before you acquire a taste for it.
In this world,
You run away from it
You hear?
Some things aren't meant for you to touch.
You fly far far away from it.
"But I can't help it."
Look up at night,
And behold the sky full of stars.
How dangerous they are,
Hold on to that feeling.
The danger is what I have
Spent my years chasing,
Regardless of what others tell me.
I died dreaming a dream that many has dreamt before me,
And survived a dream that many would dream after me.
"But how did you do it?"
Practice, dear, and and a teaspoon of magic with a bucket of miracle.
