A Prayer

There is such magic in this world, one must not try to control it

When it offers itself to you, simply be thankful to have the privilege of experiencing it

When the snow decides to flow upwards for a second and you hold your breath as one does when they think they can stop time,

When the blackbird's eye meets yours and the fragile tension of trust rises as you get the chance to truly look at one another,

When the person you love lies in your laps, your hand passing through their hair as you read your favourite poems, and you start believing that safety can become familiar,

When the right song plays at the right moment and the air lights up and everyone's heartbeats sync up,

Do not try to control it
Simply be thankful for it

As I was once foolish enough to think I could force it to my command
And it broke me
