Magic

I’m finding magic in the little things

Feeling the energy of housemates shift after a freshly cleansed home

That I poured love and intention into

The smiles and tears and wonders of children I care for

And the longing, I hold them tight only after a day of missing them

The fresh spring flowers and feelings of hope

Fresh cut grass and sitting in the yard until it’s cold night

Sitting around a fire a friend started with only charcoal, lighter fluid and pinecones

Kissing my lover after missing her all week, and being held by this beauty

Of letting all our worries go and just being close

My housemate giving me a cheat sheet of when and how much the bills will be

After stressing about taking this responsibility as people are leaving

New housemates will come, and set a refreshing tone for this place still filled with love, magic and hope

And add more queerness, creativity and radiance

I’m finding magic in the joy

Of being around my loved ones,

Accepting change and grieving goodbyes, welcoming hellos

Another chapter of transformation

Magic in the knowing that things are falling into place

And the universe always holds a space

When I take care of myself, my community and environment

The rest of my world will be taken care of
