The Faded Magic of Books
Magic is everywhere.
Found in dust between pages
Between brains and lips
Imbedded like crystalized wings in amber
Frozen with illusion
Teaming with fragile artifice
But between today and tomorrow
And everything after that
I see nothing but the pale white glare
Sparks stay out souls
Creativity stacks forgotten on shelves
Out of use
Out of touch
Between my hands should be paper
Should be worlds otherwise untouched
Tomorrow would not forget her magic
In the depths of reading
If I could change anything
