The Magician


See the magician 

Strutting upon the stage

Tantalizing the audience

With amazing illusions


Objects appear

Conjured, it seems 

And disappear 

Into the thinnest of air


The audience gasps

Lending their belief

For the briefest moment

Living in imagination 


Such is life

A feat of prestidigitation 

The art of holding the facade 

The substance of dreams


The question 

Burning unanswered 

Am I the magician

Or merely the illusion
