About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Magic is art when it has nothing to hide. This is when it becomes the hope to urge us to make the world a better place.

We all carry this hoping element inside ourselves ever since birth, especially when it isn't drained out of us. Being able to hope is a very strong power because hopes can turn to dreams and when we can, when our senses grow sharper and our abilities and capabilities are honed to a certain precision, then we can change what needs to be changed, create what needs to be created, and fix what needs to be fixed.

As there are many kinds of magic, what is most magical is the internal connectedness of life that we sometimes experience with people, beautiful sunsets, the ocean, the beach, a work of art, a kind word, a story or poem that speaks to us, feeling the hidden presences of the divine and those we love.

In that sense, we are all magicians, wizards, and adventurers with passion, purpose, and miracles in our hearts. If this isn’t magic, as art challenging what seems impossible, I don’t know what else to call it.
