A Witch’s Tale

gedicht uit mijn gedichtenbundel Fairytale Life

She was born under the Harvest Moon
With hymns of Faith
Enchanting Spells whispering

Lying on her mother's chest
Listening to her tamed heart

Her mother singing lullabies
About free witches dancing around bonfires
Under the full Moon

Growing up,
society moulded her to fit in
But the shadows of the Soul Sisters
Kept her restless

“Here is not where you belong.”

Torn by fate
Lost in the world by rules
Wandering among the ignorant

She makes circles
To hold the magic within her
She lights candles
To remind her of her path

Oh, how cruel
The grains of sand and flames
Mocking her

Silly girl, why look outside
For what is inside you
Why ask when you already know

Oh, how precious
The grains of sand and flames
Promising her

Silly girl, fear not.
Take your time to break the chains
The witches and their Moon
They will not leave you behind
For you are one of them
