Illusion Begets Magic

Aisha Sarwari March 26, 2001

Tags:



Wide open truth

Vulnerable nebula root

Reflection is a shining itself

Few stars burn silent dust

Straws of first blue

Blue black metal

Hard cold moisture-filled winds

Rusting in union

Bronze sealing of hurt

Never departing

Always remembering

The
wide oneness of truth

What they felt at that space and time

As truth, was ...

but a lovely mirror trick

Illusion begets magic
