magic at the village green
pure magic
in the shade of an apple tree
pure magic in the center
of Orcas’ main weekend distraction
amid tents of treats
smells and sounds barking dogs
ten young beings
give their full attention
to a book ?
just shapes on pages
their imaginative brains
enchanted by story
pure magic
just as early hominids
before these islands
arose from the sea
they lean in eagerly
oblivious to distraction
engaged seeking
Merlins magical path
they pursue the art of
imagination
that will enrich their lives
the magic of storytelling

Excellent! Turn in something so eagerly overlooked into a noticed moment, the noticing and describing also magic.
Lovely, just lovely. You took me there to share the magic of the observer and the observed. Thank you.
