from Finding the Magic

a dragonfly darts by,
wings gossamer and body iridescent blue,

even the brown back of a fly
shines gold in the sunlight.

There’s still magic in the world.

The breeze strengthens
all the lake glitters
like the Milky Way,
like diamonds,
like snow and ice crystals.

Slow down and be still
and the magic is yours.
