Mother, Where is the magic?
Pause and Be.

My darling,
Where dew catches morning light
so the new day kisses you:
Delight in the tenderness - it is there.
Where a summer scent invites your attention
to see dancers on dragonfly wing:
Be guided by the pause - it is there.
Where the breeze moves gently for you and
passes clouds to kiss your sweat away:
Exalt in the sweet relief of gratitude - it is there.
Where song raises a tickling army
of hairs to demand your attention:
Feel the longing in your throat - it is there.
Where sand, mud, moss separate your toes
and life thrums beneath your sole:
Inhale the familiar yearning - it is there.
Where the night sky halts your hurry,
the stars calling just for you:
Surrender to the nearness - it is there.
Where a story burns your sleep
and art halts your breath:
Sense the angel landed - it is there.
Where a silken thread holds a rusty leaf
as a gift for the sweet air to waltz with:
Step into the enchantment - it is there.
When robin sings your favourite song
and the sun breathes sweetly on your arms:
The air in your sigh - it is there.
My beloved darling, it is everywhere.
