Key West: Finding Orange Magic

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
tell me if it's real at all.
Is there orange magic?

My dear boy, why now ask?
You've always known.
Why take me to task?

You've felt it in the orange flame,

in the setting suns you've tried to tame;

in mystic books,

and tarot cards,

in genie's lamps,

and crystal shards;

in copious mugs of bubbly brew,

in magic hats that feel good, too;

in the yin, the yang,

the big full moon,

in the tic and toc, that's gone too soon;

in fairies of the forest,

and in your dreams,

and still you remain blind, it seems!


Whether you be wizard young,

or wizard old,

all must hear this story told:

With the heart and mind of a child,

must ye go forth, have fun... do something wild!

Only then shall you discover ORANGE magic!
