Magic Under a Rock

She found her magic

under a rock in the garden.

When had she lost it

she wondered?

She cried for the time spent

without her magic.

and then she laughed

   for the tears had reminded her

   she never really lost her magic.

But she had carefully wrapped it

and placed it under the rock

for her future self  to find

   knowing she would need

   a release of tears

   and to be reminded that magic

   is everywhere, everyday.

And she smiled

and filled her heart

with the song of her life.
