'Tis Magic

"Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, which you have labored at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror."
NIV Isaiah 47:12

Come to me and you will see, indeed, all magic may be true
Leprechauns and little men, mermaids and big sea monsters, too
Santa Claus, Easter bunnies, fiery dragons, faeries of delight
Didn't you know ev'rything we think of can be found in sight?

Einstein found when poking around that energy makes matter
Energy power of mind says go! Magic makes it shatter
Notions of disbelief are false; magic can always be true
Spiritual physics, my pseudo science, tells what we do.

How else could Noah's Ark be big enough to hold two of kind
Noah changed them into spirits with powerful use of mind
And lo and behold like he made some gold the Ark still had room
So never think no, something's not so. It's Magic, Watch it bloom!

Newell hi there I believe in magic, I’ve just seen it spread before me here this is a wonderful piece of magic. The world of magic isn’t really lost to us we just have to believe in it and there it all is.

Beautiful writing and pure magic


Love and warm stuff

Thank you, Krissy! Yes, there is magic. And magic makes the world of Love go round in sweetness. Without it our planet would be just a dead old ball of dirt. But God made the earth and then added pretty little decorations and a gave us a world of magic.

And to make our magic come true, there is a whole host of little magic angels. And I kinda think you know all of this because I kind of suspect that you are one of them.

You're welcome, Nancy! Yes, you inspired me. Until I met you, I thought magic was not true, and possibly bad. But your magic opened a brand new window to God in me. And this is where I have since been led. Thank you, sweet Enchantress! I love you.

That one line has made my day, Newell!
I hope that you are right about that!

Hi Lyra,

Gee! I love your little Shamrock guy. I'll look for him tonight. He is so delightful. Do you have a name for him?

Ah,a bit o cheer at the end of a terrible day. Bless you.
I try to always believe in magic, but sometimes I feel a plot against it.

Yes Sandra, there is a dirty plot against magic. I know because I was raised in the heart of it by a Father, big-time minister head of a 100-church association to believe that magic was evil. I was taught that magic was based on lies, and that God was against all magic as only evil spirits created magic. And all magic was evil. I was taught  examples in the Old Testament of the Bible where God's Prophets were pitted against Sorcerers to show that their magical power could not match the power of God. But only half of the story was told.  There is good magic and evil magic. And it is not the magic, but the heart of the person doing the magic that is good or evil. Christ later pointed out that all sin was only in the heart, not in the acts of men.

And it is true that since the day of Adam  spirits have had tools available to convert energy to matter, making real magic possible. It's just that there has been a conspiracy to hide these spiritual powers from us. Part of the cold conspiracy of The Church and doctrine. Attempting enslavement of all mankind. But I must seek truth! And I am finding it slowly and surely. Glad you enjoyed the poem.

BRAVO!!! Oh my gosh, this is absolutely spellbindfing, sweet friend, I too believe in magic with all my heart, for I love mermaids and faeries and all of fantasy so much, and if we believe in something, it must be something beyound a figment of our imaginations! (big hugggssssss) This is absolutely delightful, sweet friend, we all love you so much, you are a true sorcerer of poetry! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
