Magic
What images does the word magic conger,
a prestidigitator or mystic spell?
Some believe belief makes sorcery stronger;
but wizards are tricksters with something to sell,
pretending to master the secrets of Hell.
Illusionists' tricks help deceive the eye,
like hidden mirrors that make things disappear.
They claim to levitate and seemingly fly
while honing their art for future grand premieres,
hawking autographed photos as souvenirs.
And enchanters enchant susceptible souls
into believing some magic is real.
Demonstrating reality's full of holes,
they oft manipulate how you think and feel;
turning ordinary into surreal.
Seemingly achieving the impossible,
magic and miracles share similar traits.
Both stretch the boundaries of what's possible,
contrary to what reality mandates;
while fueling philosophical debates.
