Alcrux,

I have no idea of your real name, but this poem is dedicated to you, for the heartwarming comments you made on some of my works and the title 'That is Magic' is derived from those words 🤷‍♀️.

At first, I got your gender wrong, you might think I'd be embarrassed, but I'm not.

You reacted with incredible grace, and after all, I was just deceived by the beauty and tenderness of your writing, which I consider a compliment.

Hope I've done a better job this time 😊

THAT IS MAGIC

There was a little bird, who lived halfway around the world

How beautiful you did sing, with head held high and full of pride

And when you wrote, your delightful words created a perfect picture of the emotions you feel

The days are long, simply because your life is so short

In your words, a story unwound to reveal a heart in search of love

So much unbridled passion flowed, but what else would you expect from one whose journey had only just begun?

Made the most of what you felt, enjoyed life's exhilaration and felt its flush upon your skin

Allowed your senses to explore the world around you, and savoured them throughout life's endeavours

Giving only your best, so there were few, ifs, buts and maybes

It was imperative that you experienced life to its fullest extent, so when your children looked into your eyes, a beacon of light shone out and showed them the safest way to go.
