The Magician asked for a volunteer From all of us watching in the sea Really He knew I was waiting here And from the beginning His eyes on me Swallowing my fears I charged the stairs The Great Magician unveiling his plan As I looked upon the device with care I was not upbeat as when I'd began Doubts were swirling like the smoke surrounding Then a box was rolled to the staging floor At this frightful site my heart was pounding And my eyes were trained on the exit door Then I felt promise wash my body clean And the box was sealed with my soul inside The crowd was hush and not a doubter seen Soon after that I was taking my bride Smoke swirling we jumped clear of the box It was now us but my soul was fulfilled I’d busted the chains and broken the locks And thanked God the Magician, His will.

Got to admire those magicians hey Walty. Loved the poem, great imagery my friend  Maree "If my words could blanket the skies and fill every corner and crevice of this earth, still this won't be enough" "Maree Russo" |

Walt, Wonderful imagery. At first I wasn't sure where the verse would go, but you've created such as stunning ending that brings every line together. A lovely read, thank you. love, da punk |

Muchly enjoyed the imagery here. Nicely written. Poeminister "...no single sound too rude Upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." --Ed |
