Minor Magic
by Kyle Sledge
A leaf floating from a spiderweb’s thread
The kiss of a long lost love in a dream
A worry pulled gently out of your head
The warm thrill of a well-placed harmony
A satisfying end to a novel
The call from a friend who’s been on your mind
A kind act that combats feeling awful
The matching sock you thought you’d never find
A blank canvas becoming expression
The first day in a new town now called home
A job when it turns into profession
The laughter after fear crawls in its hole
A life lived will have its ups and its downs
The world whirls with magic woven throughout
