The Boy Who Needed Magic
From many lips,
I’ve often heard,
About the boy who needed
Magic
Not the spells of fairy tales
But, something so very
Magic
The people around
Told the boy
To stick with what
Made sense
“Boys who seek the magic
Often grow up lonely men.”
The boy did try
To find his place
In the most sensible of things
But, nothing of the sort
Made sense
Not to this boy, at least
So, into the woods
The boy did run
Away, or so he believed
But, what he found
Among the leaves
He ran to, magically
The magic began to
Build inside —
The circles ’round
He danced —
Holding hands with Nature,
The boy had found his
True romance
Some say that boy still
Lives somewhere, maybe
Inside a grown-up man,
The boy who needed magic
Dances circles
Inside of him
