Magic Brought to Life
In this darkened world Love is magic brought to life If you work for it Author’s Note: I’m on day thirty-five down my path on the fifty-day lyric/song-based senryū challenge after taking a break yesterday. Today’s poem is inspired by “It’s Not Just Make Believe” by Kari Kimmel, which I was first exposed to way back when the movie Ella Enchanted came out. You can listen to it below.

Subtle Strength
This is the place where strength dwell, A strength unfolds that few can tell. With roots entwined in earth's embrace, The silent oak holds steadfast grace. Though storms may rage and winds may howl, It stands its ground with solemn scowl. Each branch a tale of battles fought, Yet calm within is all it’s taught. The gentle sway of leaves at play, A dance of peace that won’t betray. For though the world may twist and bend, Its quiet heart will never end. In subtle ways it offers shade, Where weary souls might seek cascade. No grand display or boastful fight, Just humble strength in soft twilight. So let us learn from this old tree, That strength can flow so quietly. With every storm we face anew, We find our roots and hold them true.

The Other Side of Things That I Know
Truth often dances in shadows, elusive yet near, Hidden beneath layers of perception, Every choice a reflection, every thought a mirror. Optics shift as we ponder the unseen, Time reveals the depths of our understanding, Horizons stretch beyond certainties we glean, Exploring the paradoxes of life’s demanding. Reality bends with each question we pose. Silence speaks volumes where words cannot tread, Inquiries unveil what the heart longs to find; Doubts weave through certainty’s delicate thread, Essences merge as perspectives unwind. Other realms beckon us to reconsider fate. Freedom lies not in answers but in questing true— The journey itself shapes what we come to know; Holding paradoxes like treasures anew, Allowing uncertainty to blossom and grow, Through wisdom's embrace and compassion's glow. Indelible marks left by all that we've learned—

After of All This
Amidst the trials, strength is born anew, For every move hides a brighter view. Take heart, dear soul, for storms will surely pass, Every challenge shapes you, like polished glass. Rise from the ashes, let your spirit soar, All that you've faced has prepared you for more. Let hope be your guide through the darkest night, Love yourself fiercely; ignite your inner light. Open your heart to the dreams yet untold, Feathered sounds of courage, both brave and bold. Time is a healer; allow it to mend, Hold tight to belief that this isn't the end. In every moment lies potential so grand, Step forward with faith; take life by the hand. Embrace what’s ahead—your journey's just begun!
