Why Must YOU

{Post: 248/365}

why must you

always

say out loud

the things I know

the words that are already in my heart

why must you

always

say out loud

the whispers in my soul

the nudges and reminders I need

why must you

always

say out loud

the things you say to spark me

and push me one step further

why must you

always

say out loud

the lessons I KNOW

the ones I am afraid of

I KNOW why you must

always

say out loud

the words you say

the words that engage me

I KNOW I must

always

answer the call

 dreaming in the flame

my power and passion renewed

I KNOW I must

always

answer the call

burning myself down to the ashes

and rising anew a phoenix

I KNOW I must

always

answer the call

and be inspired to embrace 

the light, the joy and the magic within me

Doorway

{Post: 243/365}

I stand

before the door

of my dreams

on the threshold

of a magical world

I step through

the doorway

and enter

a sacred place

of swirling chaos

and brilliant light

full of hopes

and dreams

and ideas

and possibilities

for magic

of the mind

of the heart

of the soul

and I just

breathe

Attracted by Magic

{Post: 227/365}

I am 

attracted

by the magic

and whimsical nature

of fairies

I am 

attracted

by the power

and magnificence

of dragons

I am 

attracted

by the purity

and elusive spirit

of unicorns

I am

attracted

by the impish

and prankster attitude

of leprechauns

I am 

attracted

by the mystery

and shy, hidden world

of gnomes

I am 

attracted

by the beauty

and mysterious quality

of fantasy

but most of all

I am 

attracted

by the power

and vibrant imagination 

of the creators

YOU bring magic into my world!

I Believe

{Post: 163/365}

I believe 

in magic

I believe

that it lives

deep inside of me

I believe

if I knew how

I could open it up 

and watch it blossom

I believe

there is magic

inside each of us

every one of us

could bloom like a flower

I believe

if we search

inside the inner rooms

of our hearts and souls

and open the hidden door

magic would flow forth

I believe

if I could find

inside myself

this inner wellspring of magic

I could never empty it again

because it is found and not lost

it has been opened and cannot be closed

I believe

I can express

love and magic

with every beat of my heart

forever and always

if only I can

dig deep enough into myself

to open the floodgate

Dreams

{Post: 99/365}

I dream a dream

and hope

that it will come true

 that it will

allow me

to find the magic

inside of myself

and in swirls

of colourful chaos

and creative impulses

dancing in the sunlight

I will find

not only the magic 

but that I will be able to

share it

to sparkle and shine

with my own light

 and in radiant beauty

I dream a dream

and I HOPE
