Beyond Reason Redux
I've never truly believed
in magic--charmed circles,
fairy rings--
that sort of thing.
But with a single simple sound--
a catch in your murmured whisper
that is for me alone--
a subtle iridescence shimmers
peripherally all around;
this gravel beneath my
worn scuffed keds now
hallowed ground.
Beyond all reason
I know I am forever safe
from harm,
from all the demons of the dark.
Held fast--
caught in your charm.
