where do we go?

magic is what we misunderstand or mistake
the power that we desire is not all there
but we give it what is in us and we take
success to give the meaning to our care
the source of glamour is the common word
the meaning of which is not always told
beyond the truth beyond what is absurd
we must be young when our demons are old
to write all this and hold within the verse
what magic is and what is eartly power
what blessing to make or else what curse
to change the significance of the hour
the answer no one really wants to know
to what we do or ask or what we show
