Every Day Magic
Myths and legends are alive and well all around us.
Apollo lives
in the steady hands of a medical surgeon
In the voice of the newest, hottest star
In the poetry book clutched between the hands of a young teen
Like it has all the answers.
Persephone lives
In the clear air that announces spring
In the blossoming bouquets of new brides
In the stubbornness of a weed growing between the cracks of the pavement
Like it has every right to be there.
Faeries live
In long hikes through the forest
In the tricky rules of social etiquette
In the harmless pranks people video for their fifteen minutes.
Witches live
In the black cats that slip through alleyways
In the complicated orders of coffee drinks
In the old books at the back of the library where the lights barely reach.
Myths and legends are alive and well all around us.
You just have to look for them.
