The Magician

By Alia Vera

A step down on the ground
Reach my hand up to the sky
Mercury in motion
I am the tension
The space between
Above
And
Below
I’ll pull down the cosmos
I’ll raise up the earth
Spin them around my waist
Consuming myself
Enriching myself
Within the galaxial cycles
Churning within me
Sealed with an ouroboros kiss
Upon my navel
It’s just a first step
Becoming
It’s all laid out before me
Unfolding
It’s the flowers of spring
Blossoming

It’s ready
The clay of the earth
To shape my grounding
The water of the seas
To shower me in feeling
The winds of air
To blow in fresh thought
The flames of fire
To stoke my creative forces

I am the magic
Ready to breathe
To speak
To sing
From Dream
Into being

So let’s fly together
With ibis wings
The flight of Hermes
Rests upon your breath
Just breathe
It into being
