We seek conformity in our worlds and walk so easily past what we're really meant to see -- the beauty and the magic of the world. We miss the way flowers grow from between concrete slabs, or the way that the rails of a house rust down the brick and vines cover the deteroriation.

Well said! Seek the magic.

Ah! you needn't have said more here :)..how we always seek and want something other than what we have..yet we fail to realize that the universe always puts things right for us..it gives us what we do need at that moment of our life.It is in the random mundane pattern of our lives that the magic lies..:)

especially the deep magic; you know, aslan stuff

oh wow ! yes i think the ego mind makes forms and desires desire. all the while missing the formless magic. nice to know the magic exists, if we could just not miss it. 11 words that say so much.

I see the latch of pandora's box coming undone as it should~ =)~

the human mind is a complex little array of structures~ each indent with its own shiny pebble ripe for plucking an rolling into the arena of perceptions~ magiks abound~ everyday shambles distract us from our own inherent mysticism buried under years of deep push into a single dimensional reality~

I see it all...
Thanks for the jolt.

"what do you see?" we see what we are, and what we want to, our predispositions dictate how we translate anything, funny how at this moment i read a poem like this "missing the magic" makes me think of the things that really matter in my life which is easly forgotten due to "patterns of desire and form" that i live by...materialism, my ego...pathetic. Thanks for sharing Robin.

Sadly, your first line, "human mind seeks," does not equate to five syllables and does not a haiku make. :(

EXCELLENT! I love Haiku's ...so much packed into so little.

This one seems to speak of the fact that we ae so wrapped up in the "science"...or the "facts"... all of our dissection causes us to miss the magic in the unexplained.

Fabulous :)
