The Amnesia Of Magic Poem by Joseph DeMarco

Magic happens
behind closed eyelids
It is fading with a blink
And erased from your memory
almost immediately

Like a dream right after you awake
the forgetfulness of true magic is overwhelming,
An amnesia, occluding you from your dream
swallowing your memory whole

It never happened
##-Scene Missing-##
As if you were not meant to know
Consciously
You imagined him standing over your bed
with a wand wiping your mind clean

Go to the old road
The magic persists there
It's in the spaces and crannies
In the holes in the air

Walk in the footsteps of ancients
Tread lightly with care
It's in the paradoxes where they lie
It's in your dreams when you die

This has happened before
##-Scene Missing-##
Like some type of Vuja De
It happened in the past
on a distant day
