Magic Word! Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

This poem has considerable lengthand it needs every single to fulfill itself. Because a transformation takes place as we move through the body of the poem with its chanted phrases, repetitions, images, That is, the MAGIC WORD BECOMES THE MAGIC EARTH.

Emerson wrote, THE POET KNOWS HE SPEAKS ADEQUATELY ONLY WHEN HE SPEAKS SOMEWHAT WILDLY.So let us say it boldly: The poet's magic words make the earth magical!
