The Magician



Dave Oakes


The creator of life from emptiness itself
Cupping his hands around a vast empty space
Letting his magical wisps of breath caress them
All the nothing disappears with a life in it’s place.
A heart and a soul have now come to life
One physical and one a supernatural thing
Yet his spirit spans out and protects both
While his presence has taught them both to sing.
Your thoughts are his as he can read you so well
Every single feeling that passes through you known
By his magical ability to feel and know all of you
No wonder your soul is as much his as your own.
To be felt from many thousands of miles away
Surrounded by the breadth of his very thought
Knowing that no matter where you could ever go
You have found that one missing thing that you sought.
Magicians are known for their tricks and slight of hand
Nobody believes what they have is a mystical power
The impossible happening before your eyes
As you stand watching from your mystery tower.
His hands move so gently and slow it can’t be a trick
Slowly seeing that he has not made an illusion
By allowing your eyes to open wider than they’ve ever been
He had shown you what had caused all your confusion.
Now you look and all around you there are things to see
That not very long ago would not have been noticed at all
Because you were so encased deep in the trap of the box
Swords were pushing through at you from along every wall.
What magic when he laid his hands upon that wicked box
Seeing the walls fall apart and freeing the captive inside
Then turning his gaze onto and looking into my soul
Immediately knowing I was saved, I sat down and cried.
