On my recent Kerala trip, travelling with me was a defence personnel, who was also a magician ..he showed many magic tricks..the smaller, what they call 'close up' numbers...
he's seen my interest and awe, despite by age and the seemingly 'educated' looks..so when all the fellow travellers got down he quickly came to me and showed the reality of the magic cards, with which he mersmerised us a while ago...
a few minutes after, i felt he shouldn't have done that!
MIP as we knew him is back! I related it to this guy...who stuck up for his principles to such an extant that he had 2 suffer the consequences quite terribly...but he was a hero in all our eyes for having stuck up...and when I got to speak ti him and asked why he got into the mess in the 1st place, he just said 'some things are best left unsaid'. So he's still a hero. Of course the simple honest answer to my question would have been...I was young and got into dope, so I dint care for consequesnses etc etc...dat wud have ruined everything. I wonder if this made any sense...but thats what your poem reminds me of.

Hi MIP, i got a post at Certain Kind/ Essential Me -- same posted at both places.. i wish you read that, though i say of destined readers there... because you were one of the first lights i saw in the corridor that i talk about there... i wish you knew how i felt about it! wishes! devika
Well, what if I am willing to learn the magic tricks for a fee? Then, I guess, the magician will oblige, right? 'there are many nights in a rainy day' - hmmm.. (scratching my head all over) Cheers,
@raaji thank you @rakesh happy you liked it.. @priya you said it! @warm sunshime thanks for the compliments.. @sandeep so happy u liked it.. @salil lol actualy i was waiting for your comments! thanks.. @akshay thank you..
The last lines appeared as a rather snapping sorta retort from a magician whose act has been trivialized when the 'holy secret' was let out! but ought not the so magic witnesser to whom the secret now lies revealed posess a right to feel cheated because he marvelled at something which was indeed that simple! I think its just one side of story between two trivialized men-one after the other, i would love to hear the man who witnessed the magic answer to this! May be i m just too extrapolative with your thought which beautifully compact and telling in itself, but i was just thinking!

Two disparate images, but the magic holds them together!
Nice one!

Some questions are better not answered.

well swetali,
look at the big picture. the poem is like a general idea, could be applied to so many things.
just read the poem again keeping in mind God as a magician, and it holds so true.
@Trochee and swetali
now I witness magic!
HOLY FRICKING TOO GOOD!!!!
man...this one really hit the right place!!!
such depth!!! such depth!!!
i am blown away...!!!
it took me a while to realise th hidden metaphor of magic and life and GOD as the magician!!!
simply brilliant!!
really excellent!
