There will come a time

Yes
even for you

when life
will ask of you
the impossible

I have no
magic

Sometimes
I pretend I do
but I don’t

Its a kind of
gossamer world
that makes my eyes
sparkle
keeps my dreams
alive

The only thing
I think I know

Is that nothing
stays the same,
lasts forever

There is no
magic elixir

no obscure
incantation

no absolute
and forever
healing

There is only
beginning again
