The Amnesia of Magic

Magic happens behind closed eyelids It is fading with a blink And erased from your memory almost immediately Like a dream right after you awake the forgetfulness of true magic is overwhelming, An amnesia, occluding you from your dream swallowing your memory whole It never happened ##-Scene Missing-## As if you were not meant to know Consciously You imagined him standing over your bed with a wand wiping your mind clean Go to the old road The magic persists there It's in the spaces and crannies In the holes in the air Walk in the footsteps of ancients Tread lightly with care It's in the paradoxes where they lie It's in your dreams when you die This has happened before ##-Scene Missing-## Like some type of Vuja De It happened in the past on a distant day By: Joseph DeMarco
