Magic – A Poem About The Power of Reading and the Imagination
I’ve experienced magic.
I’ve witnessed countless spells
and drank the words of a thousand potions.
Been teleported to different countries and worlds,
explored to the end of the universe,
have dug to the center of Earth,
and have even traveled through time.
I’ve ridden horses through ancient forests,
stormed and conquered a fortress,
and have warmed my bones beside the fire
in the depths of castle walls.
I’ve captained a pirates’ ship,
worn a pistol on my hip,
and plundered enough treasure
to awe even the richest of men.
I know what it’s like to look up at a T-Rex.
I’ve felt the heat of a dragon’s breath.
And on the rare occasion,
I’ve even gazed upon the beauty of a unicorn.
Yes, I’ve experienced magic.
And still get swept away by its incantations
because I possess the power to read.
