Rosebuds
Harnessed, I fly.
I don't want spells, incantations, sleight of hand, or conjuring because tricks-by any other name-have thorns. Spinning with arms stretched wide, the flowers all fall. After a too short time Charlie brings me down.
"Do you understand?" I ask.
He smiles, leaves the control panel, and steps onto Aquarius' platform with me. "Magic isn't a trick. It's how you feel."
"Yes."
"I enjoy gathering my rosebuds," he says and plucks petals from my hair. Love is fleeting magic.
Our kiss-like the petals which grow a rose-is just as sweet.
Loved, I'm grounded.
