David Smith Poet Didactic

Practical Magic

Forget complicated spells, 
That require obscure ingredients,
That have no safe substitutes,
When a pair of helping hands,
That can magically halve the workload,
That can massage away the meanest headache.

And a set of listening airs,
That can hear what is unsaid,
That can pick up the slightest note of harmony.

And a voice that speaks volumes,
That is low in decibels,
That speaks from the heart,
Are the only three ingredients,
That are needed to create a spell to remember,
That leaves no sticky residues,
And can be easily brought together at short notice.

Victor Buhagiar December 4, 2024 at 6:23 PM Dabbling in witchcraft is a risky job. Your solution is perfect. David Smith December 6, 2024 at 11:15 PM Thank you Victor. I also believe the helping hands are better than the hit and miss magic associated with counselling. Don't know what it is like over there but if people are within 500 meters of a harmful incident they are offered counselling. Resilience is a topic I frequently refer to. But aside from that we have moved into summer balmy evenings here. Hope you are well Victor.
