Magic of a Poet

Not all magic needs a wand

Magic of a Poet

We pluck the wind’s whisper
and stitch it to silence,
harvest heartbeats
from the shadows of old dreams.

Ink becomes smoke,
curling into the shape of things
we're too afraid to say aloud—
a spell disguised as a sentence.

We don’t cast magic.
We become it
each time a truth lands
softly in someone else’s chest.
