Witch, Hazel

Witch, Hazel

Her hair flows like midnight
her eyes glow like the sun
and once she's placed her gaze
on you, you just might come undone

When she starts to work her
magick and she begins her chants
you will believe in all she says,
be it future, past or romance

But if you unkindly cross her
or fail to follow "harm none"
she may just shrink you down to size
and show you how harm's really done

She would never hurt you,
oh no, that's not her stride
she'll simply lift the mirror's veil
to show you the "you" inside

What We Learn is Who We Are

What We Learn
is Who We Are

Dusty old room,
memories written
on each and every
corner, like tiny
videos of life, captured
moment by moment

Take the time to stop,
stop and smile, remember,
listen and learn, for this
is living, because
our memories help
shape us into
who we are in the present
and if we truly learn
from those experiences
(good or bad), they will
help shape us into the
lightest soul within our
capability

I'm not telling you
to live in the past
OH NO - just visit
it through memories'
door, from time to
time...

The fast lane is for
those who really
are afraid to live...

Slow down, inhale
your days, exhale
your memories
and grow, shine,
love, mostly, dear ones,
love, for that is what
we were made for
