Banished from the world
not the magic in his head
he plots strategies
to rule the sky and the stars.
A full moon smiles above….
Busy as Moon is
tricks well concealed, protected
in its roundness
sleeves and hats are not his game
he rolls over the night….
The wizard’s sharpness
angular wisdom exposed
in grey clarity
Magic needs a perspective-
gets defeated by wholeness
sublime wisdom
rotating, revolving orbs
hide world’s secrets
churn to present new stories
a hungry world laps it up….

A mysterious wizard, Reena, and I’m glad his tricks are well concealed.

Reminds me somewhat of the character Prospero in Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest.”
