In a world

where magic

is as only as magical

as the idea

that surrounds it,

He surrounded

us with it.

 

He laughed and

smiled

As

we laughed and smiled

at the silliness of it,

As

we began to watch

impossibility

morph

into a possibility

that could never

have been written

in the fairy-tales

 

we laughed

and smiled at.

 

As

we began to watch

fantasy

morph

into reality.

 

A reality that

transcended all boundaries

of imagination

Before its evaporation

 

morphed

into his extinction.

 

Reminding us

That

there is no magic,

there is no fairy-tale,

there is no descent into

sunsets

;

There are only fragments

of reality

that seldom escape

the boundaries of our own

Before

reminding us

that

this is our reality,

A

reality

that

is as only as magical

as the idea

that surrounds it.
