not magic

not a magic that i expect
you to quickly act upon
but a miracle that i yearn
in my life, you to execute

i do not ask you to change
my water into red wine
but transform my taste buds
that colourless will hint as wine

i do not ask you to multiply
my loaves, but that me
and mine never go hungry
or ever disown the weary

i do not ask you for powers
to walk on the roaring sea
but that i will have the luxury
of a friend, my woes to see

not a magic that i expect
you to quickly act upon
but a miracle that i yearn
in my life, you to execute
