The prompt for today was to write an “occasional” poem—a poem suited to, or written for, a particular occasion.

So I decided to write about a few memorable occasions. Welcome a few of my favorite memories.

Magic of Moments

I will never forget 
the magic of his arrival, 
relating not so much 
to the nature of life, 
but to the heart
of love itself—
a powerful catapult 
a dance of irrevocable joy,
an electrifying connection,
an explosion of love. 

Like the day 
I saw her 
come my way, 
unfettered and 
underestimated, 
free wheeling and 
free thinking, unbound 
by convention 
without an ounce 
of pretension.  

Like the moment
when a thousand 
meteors exploded
in the august sky,
when wispy green fairies 
twirled their skirts
behind the northern lights.

Like when the hawk 
spread his wings 
above our heads,
leading the way into 
the flaming birch forest.

How can anyone not 
believe in magic—
the humdrum, mundane
everyday magic of life?
