The Magician and the Rose (Illusions)

Find me a rose
and I will sell you a dream
and I will cry you my river
if you listen patiently
Wait by the rainbow
and my secrets are yours;
keep me a promise
and I will share some magic
to learn your ways
for you are the teacher
of truths.

Shaista,

Am so incredibly glad I've found your deeply beautiful and moving poetry. It's so amazing to see such truth and humble insights into the meaning of life. I especially like the way the words in this poem seem to slip off the page like jello :)

I wish all the best for you,
Erica
