Blame It On The Moon

Magic

by Robin Skelton

Do not believe in magic;
there is nothing
magical in any
thing we do
if magic means a power
transcending nature;
all we do is natural
as the way
buds lean into the sun
and close in rain,
as natural as the
salmon-leaping stream,
the downswoop of the hawk
the loon´s lone cry,
as natural as the
travelling of sound
and light, the magnet´s pull,
the spin of earth,
the moon-tug on the tide,
the earthquake´s heave,
the lightning and the
falling of the stars.
Yet if you call these
magical, believe
that magic is not
separate from the world,
but is the world,
and so believe in magic
as all of life and all
our hurrying lives.
