You Must Be A Magician
You must be a magician with extraordinary power;
a master aesthetician causing beauty to flower.
You must be a sorcerer with telepathic accord;
a resourceful medium divining the unexplored.
You must be an enchanter with exquisite sleight of hand;
a marvelous conjurer building mirages in sand.
You must be a soothsayer with incredible foresight;
a mystical luminaire shining ethereal light.
You must be an oracle with revelations to share;
a visionary prophet making everyone aware.
You must be a theurgist with wonder-working talent;
a skillful fabricator turning craven to gallant.
You must be an alchemist with cryptic philosophy;
an eminent transformer transmuting in chemistry.
