DAY #14: The Elusive Magician ~ Uranus

GOOD NEWS!  Mars has opened at LEA 4.  Stop by to see the newest planet, and be sure to listen to the music as you march over the brink to see what Mars has in store for you!

To Uranus, the Magician

by Caledonia Skytower

I look for you in the swirl

light, ethereal essence,

a constant churn of echoes,

lessons vaguely remembered.

The brightness obscures

the deeper purpose.

the motion hides steps

leading to surety.

Yet I remember the scent

aftershave of antique charm,

the disarming glint of

humorous hazel eyes.

You left before goodbyes

could connect the edges

left by your loss, a whorl,

coiling, bewitching.

Looking through the haze

of memory and divination

I hear your voice speak,

the word that is my name.

The child me runs

little heeding the conjury,

desperate for the enchantment

of your joyous embrace.
