Are you a magician?

 


Foundation.

A few lines whispering about the mesmerising power of writing, poetry, or art—in any form.

Using carefully orchestrated emotional sleight-of-hand that soothes the mind, simulates the heart, and invites introspection or reflection. 

A strange form of magic not based on a foundation of illusion, but built up through empathy.

Title.
Are you a magician?

(A lone voice whispers)

Is a writer, poet, or artist just a conjurer of emotional imagery

Creating something special 
for those in life, who need a spot of self discovery 

To maybe stimulate their memories by reading or seeing a new ministry 

And for a brief moment, while lost within lines like these

Freeing them from their own form of self captivity
