Beware of the witch…
The witch who dwells in forests dense and deep, she who hides within the shallows, resides
in the old forgotten keep.
And don’t be fooled to think that she will not give YOU any fright, for she may very
well be hiding, right there, in plain sight...
Yes, beware of this creature who does dwell in loathly weeds, for she will put a spell
on your crop, to mark her devilish deeds.
For she IS the uncanny nature which she calls her home, the storm, the accident, the unending
frost she put forth from atop her throne…
She’s the barren womb, the miscarriage, the infertility of the land.
She’s the dragon of chaos who gives death, a helping hand.
Beware of the witch for her allure is strong.
For she taps into your desires when your cravings are wrong.
She whispers her conjurations from across the pond, ‘swim over oh lord and I will
give you all you want’.
‘Eternal love, maternal warmth’, heed not these words, for they’ll grasp you under
a spell.
For you are surely to drown, and your family as well...
Beware of the witch who devours our young, with talks of sweets and bliss, oh yes, in
the candy house her trap is sprung.
Come come, little children, I will give you all you want, just stay with me here, together,
with your loving aunt.
Beware of the witch now, for she will play her trick, twisting and turning she’ll close
the door and before you know it, you’re in her stew with a carrot and a stick.
She hates what you are and what she is not, so she devours you whole and leaves nothing
to rot.
For the witch is the mother who wishes to hold on to her throne, and so she preys on
her young in order to hide her inner crone.
She’s the healer who breads illness, the teacher who spreads lies, the seer who relishes
in the chaos she sees unfold in front of her eyes.
Beware of the witch now but do not confuse her with her twin.
For even though she may be as old, as in touch with nature as her kin, she will provide us
with health and good spirits which will guide you from within.
She is wise upon her years, a teacher through and through, she will know what you need when
you do happen to be feeling blue.
Beware of the witch, yes, but likewise, beware of those who seek to twist and turn the truth
all the same.
Who point their fingers here and there and do dare to exclaim:
‘A witch a witch is what you are, for you know the Devil’s ways, last night you took
my husband’s heart and for that you’ll be set ablaze!’
Yes those who claim to know the witch, and who see her whenever they roam, are too self
assured and blind to see that lives inside their home.
For beware of the witch of your own nature, the witch who still haunts your dreams.
For perhaps it is you who seeks to twist and turn in order to make nothing as it seems.
Beware of your resentments, your lies and who you curse, of what you hold back and what
you might crave.
For perhaps your crusade will lead you round and round, as it is yourself who you ought
to brave.
So whatever you may hear or whatever you may read, look out for the witch for she will
have what you need.
She will set things in motion, she will stir the pot, for within her dreadful appearance
lies the power to break your inner knot.
And although knowledge of this creature will no doubt make you twitch.
One must never forget, to be aware of the witch…
