Writing Is Magic

Wings take flight Right off the page Flying toward the sky As the words escape my mind. Pen touches the crisp paper Magic begins to glow From the tip of my wand Bringing thoughts to life. Imagery imprints the mind Visualizing words to picture Transforming into a story Becoming a part of the tale. Each word written Is like a verbal tale That becomes a spell Hocus pocus, abra-imagia. Reading each line The eyes chow down The mind digests As the soul feels. Words speak more than action Strikes harder than a sword Touches the soul from within Can bring tears to the eyes. Words can be used good or bad Its just how we use them To inspire or dispire Help or ignore. They can inspire us Intrigue us with mystery Make us laugh with joy When their arranged oddly. Words can heal us More than medicine For stories and poems Fascinate and lure us Like sirens singing to sailors. Words formed together To form a sentence Like a spell forming To create a crystal Letting it shine bright In the sunlight. Words are magical That change and inspire Those that take the time To read and find meaning In what magic each holds.
