Concept Of Magic

I cleaned the study today, took down the mirror with
fairies and washed them, the sweet pink fairy whose
legs were broken till she became a symbol of all those
broken thus, then growing stronger and more beautiful
as her legs were glued back on and decorated with glitter
so she shines in delight

The Fuchia fairy who lost one leg, I hung purple beads
in its place, now he also looks beautiful - two miniature
mermaids in blue, tried to add two bigger figurines - but
it was too overwhelming, the mirror and fairies are happy
I also feel renewed, filled with dreams of bright sunshine
and swimming in the sea

My book* is lovely, the hurricane trying to blow away
Unexpected School while a wizard is stowing the world
in his head, the pupils never learn maths and science -
though quantum physics would be the best wizardry ever
adding infinite quantum phenomena would enlarge their
concept and range of magic

Time to stop dreaming and start work...
