WIZARDS

Dedicated to all the wizards I have met

And to the ones I haven't.

When I was a little girl

I imagined that wizards

Were creatures of sorcery

Not men of magic.

Thank goodness I have grown . . .

Wizards are a unique group

But that goes without saying (or writing)

They have a "developed" sense of humor

Depending if you prefer "warped" or "crazed"

My unknowing always leads to curiosity . . .

Wizards are men of limitless strength

Always working with the elements of nature

Giving and taking; loving and learning; laughing and hurting

All of this to "become as one".

My discoveries have increased my knowledge . . .

Wizards are full of wisdom

Even if they can't remember their own names

Their "resources" can be a bit canny

But what can one do with a professional "smartass". (brains, too!)

They also have bared the so-feared "nakedness" of love . . .

Wizards are intense loves

Unconditionally, surrendering pieces of their hearts

Believing "love conquers all"

And wanting the outcome to be certain.

My teachers have opened my eyes . . .

Wizards are men from "anywhere"

Their origins are extensive, but sound

And yet their cause is always changing

Because each day holds a "new beginning".

Look at the beauty they have "produced".
