I, Magician

Mentor asks student,

From where does the magic come?

The new student thinks.

~

“Mentor tests me still!

God, universe, stars, sun, moon?

These are correct. Right?”

~

Mentor sighs, rolls eyes.

And why do you doubt yourself?

Answers rest in heart.

~

How to awaken?

Hone the senses within you.

Focus. Meditate.

~

Be still, know you’re one.

Feel the life, strength and power.

Let your light flower.

~

These eyes have seen much,

Lessons of this world and more.

See beyond your reach.

~

Let ‘Chi’ rise within

To awaken drowsy heart

Thus restore eyesight.

~

Imagine the flame.

Look within. ‘Chi’ fires light,

Body comes alive.

~

Burn out emotions.

Rise from ashes, Oh Phoenix.

Shine as you were meant.

~

Mentor again asks,

Student, where is the magic?

The student pauses…

~

The magic’s within

But must be nurtured to grow,

For I am the seed.

~

Elementally,

Earth, air, fire and water

Applied to mind’s eye.

~

Mind to heart to hand

Allows grasp beyond your reach,

Grounded where you stand.

~

“Did I get it right?!!!”

Mentor paused…Now you’re thinking!

BUT…Can you apply?

~

With your help Mentor!

Thank you, Mentor sighed…

Twinkle in his eye!

~

In training you are

For life’s new journey ahead.

Let us now prepare.

~

For I am Mentor,

You are the new magician.

Take my hand. Let’s fly.
