MAGIC


Ugly, wiggly catterpillar crawling on leaves in the garden

Its tiny hairs tickled my palm, how i hated the creature!

Day arrived when the catterpillar slept in its grey cocoon

After weeks emerged the bright butterfly, its beauty made me swoon

Myriad colours-yellow, orange, flaming red and black

Through slender long feeders it nectar began to suck

What happened to the catterpillar? Where did it vanish?

Tell me about your Magic this is my only wish


December and January nights I'm wishing for a blanket

Come April and May that same me is hoping for popsicles in a packet

July and August rain clouds gather around 

On such enticing nights I savour thr smell of the moist ground

The sun hated in May welcomed in December

Thunder, fierce lightning will make me monsoon remember


How did the sweet refreshing water enter the tough coconut?

If i ask repeatedly. people will call me a nut

The bright red scarlet colour of the wondrous rose

From where did the brush come from? From where the paint?

There must be some wise man who knows or may be a saint

The blue of the sea and ocean, the brown of the mud

Changing tadpole to frog, the flower from the bud


who thought first of planting the jucy sweet mango tree?

The person will someday tutor me and make mind free

Billions of faces on the mantle called Earth

A microspec in the Magic Land where there's much warmth

Lead me along, teach me how to walk the path

One day I shall didcover the mistry of the Magic

It may be a wodrous experience or it may be tragic...

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
