A soft magic spell goes unnoticed
though the air it touches turns to gold
invisible in what we breathe
yet everything and its shadow
passing through our barely conscious souls
tempting us to reach for what we cannot see
and open every door to it
Only when it crawls on the walls around us
will we think to find our minds’ edge
and raise barricades against the truth

Three assignments left and I’ll have finished my second year of grad school. I just need to sit down and get them done.
