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
