So you want to be a witch, eh? <br />Well, sit right here by my side <br />And I'll tell you the secrets of the tide... <br />And just get comfy, honey child, <br />While I speak of nature, free and wild... <br />But you don't have a cloak, or pointed hat? <br />Bah! ! and Piffle! ! ... <br />What's with that? <br />The Witch is worn within the sould <br />Not donned for occasions or kept in a bowl <br /> <br />When you think of witches, you tremble at magic? <br />Oh, silly girl, that is indeed tragic <br />Well, take a deep breath and hold tight to my hand <br />And together we'll dream to the edge of the land <br />Where forest and sky kiss the edge of the waters <br />Where spirits as we, claim a kinship with daughters <br />Of elements born before words are remembered, <br />And Emotions and thoughts are no longer hindered <br /> <br />'Tis the every day things, that witches are ware of <br />The Sun and The Moon, and the wee tiny cherub <br />Who tugs at our hearts strings and drives us to madness <br />Yet gives us such joy and fills us with gladness <br />A soft gentle rain, nudging buds to full flower <br />Hurricane! Twister! ... Such terrible powe! <br />Candles and hearth fire, warming and scented <br />Forests ablaze! ... Volcanic stacks vented! <br />A mantle of snow, both preserves and gives pleaseure <br />Avalanche! Iceberg! ! ... <br />So full of treasure <br /> <br />The warmth of the Sun, bringing life we so cherish <br />Bleak desert landscape, <br />Burnt Tundra... We perish. <br />Now open your eyes, and look closely at me. <br /> <br />You came here so fearful, now what do you see? <br />A kindly old woman? A evil old hag? <br />A cloak of maturity? A dirty old rag? <br />Both sides of the coin <br />Light and Dark we encompass <br />Good and evil abide, and still walk among us <br /> <br />So be very sure, that a witch you shall be <br />For we own it ALL... <br />You and me... <br />Blessed Be...<br /><br />Jessica Millsaps<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-you-want-to-be-a-witch/
