The Magic You've MissedI pointed the phoenix out for you,
Blazing overhead.
..You didn't look up.I tried to make you see the wizard,
standing grim and silent on the hill behind us.
..You wouldn't turn.I invited you to come to my house,
and see my crystal ball.
..You were busy.I wanted to show you the faery,
so delicate, so bright,...
..you ignored me.Fine.
You've had your chance, and then some.Next time I see something,
I'm keeping my mouth shut.
