Magical Grace

Magical Grace

Eternal enchanting spell of grace
No misdirection or levitating secrets
 Or sorcerer’s secret cards up their sleeves
Absent the slight-of- hand manipulation of reality
Tricks discarded 
No place for hocus pocus
Only the action figure of mystical oblation
Who spins spells of marvels for raptured awe revealed.

Wondering eyes see holy magic moments in scarred hands
Pondering “How can the unexplainable be?”
Unchained real time far from the flesh of dawn to dusk equations -
Spells of Pi theorems unleashed leap into benedictions
 Of the infinite infinity

Flashing fireflies of magical grace change face
Whirl,
Shedding shards of conjured deceptions,
To lay hands on clear crystals of dynamic joy -
Leave laughing smiles of awestruck glee -
To see in consecrated clarity the graceful face of God 
A spell of grace cast in bounding mystical rainbows
 Reflecting in still waters without illusion

"To see in consecrated clarity the graceful face of God A spell of grace cast in bounding mystical rainbows Reflecting in still waters without illusion". Real magical spell is generated not from talismans or sorcerer's secret cards, but from the graceful face of God where there is no trick employed, but pure flowing dynamic joy and perpetual glee. Lovely penning- so meaningful and profound ! An amazing write Sam

Thank you so much Valsa. I kept thinking that God's grace casts a magical and mystical, unexplainable spell unlike nothing else like - like a smile from God's face. And, like you say, there is no trickery or deceit in God's grace. Even though this poem didn't place, I am so glad that I wrote it for it put me into a place of amazement and wonder. Sending you blessings of amazing grace!
