Magic in 5 steps

"Painting must be poetry and that poetry must evoke mystery"

First step: Looking for magic
Second step: Feeling the magic, but skeptical still
Third step: Reading a story on a magic ring, but thinking still
Fourth step: Playing piano, magic indeed
Fifth step: Looking at a René Magritte painting: La main heureuse

The Moon

In the dark

In the cold

In the sky

I can fly

I am old

But I can see

For miles

And miles

I am silver

I am gold

I am white

I am blue

I am rock

I am chaste
I am time

I am truth

When twilight falls

among the stars

I sit and tinker

with your moods

I hear your thoughts

I move the tides

I am your God

I am your Muse

I can be fire

I can be war

I am the daughter of Zeus

But tonight

there won't be light

'cause I can't shine

without you

Umut: "Hope" is the thing with feathers

Thanks to Ali for the beautiful photograph.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without words -
And never stops -at all-

And sweetest -in the Gale-is heard
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird -

That kept so many warm -

I've heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of Me.

Emily Dickinson, 1891

A Poison Tree, by William Blake

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I water'd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole,
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

Today, the weather is dreamy.
