Blame It On The Moon

Magic

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.
