Magic shimmers on the edge of periphery

Tantalizing humans with its sparkle

Teasing wishful thoughts

Never to be granted

Frolicking fairies

Moonbeams of magic

Seen briefly in the

Tender age of innocence

Fade in the harsh light

of adult cynicism

Where monetary desires

equate plastic happiness

Dimensions shrink to three

And the magic

fades away

Hi Penny,

the magic hasn't faded for me at all, and I still believe in fairies and many other unseen entities. But I understand where you're coming from with your poem. People get so wrapped up in modern technology, that they forget about the wonder of the natural world all around us.

I'm just glad to be retired now and out of the rat race. Your poem describes perfectly moving on from a child to an adult. I hope I remain childlike and don't loose that innocence as I move further into old age. smiley

Thank you for sharing.

Jenny.

Not sure how I missed your comment - sorry- Still, I was glad to find it today and pleased you enjoyed it. Yes, for some the childhood wonder stays. My dad was like that, he always saw the fun and the beauty even as he knew of sorrow and pain in life the joy to live was always there. He kept my spark of wonder alive and I am glad you have yours intact as well. It is that wonder that makes this life a joy to live...don’t you think? smiley

Yes, I agree Trevor . Where would we be without those who can candle optimism in a dark night. All the vulnerable, intuitive, loving minded people are what keeps this flickering world alive. Thank you for your lovley comments, they were poetic as well and made me smile today. smiley
