The Wizard Inside of Me



Autonomous and organized,
very independent.
My wizard's personality
is felt to be resplendent;
A magical concoction
of elevated thinking,
and a logical conclusion
to deflated speaking.
An engineer of self-reflection
and imagination,
a publisher and planner
of various occupations.
With principles that matter,
sorting fantasy from fact.
Impersonal but firm,
always knowing what he lacks.
Weighing all the options
of which he is so sure,
wrapping up the loose ends
testing them for pure.
Intrigued by possibilities
he sets, my senses reeling!
He leaves the past methodically;
is drawn to strong gut feeling.

When looking for the answer, of facts I cannot see;
I'm looking to the wizard that lives inside of me ...
