witches - NaPoWriMo #27

It was written in deep magic -
in tongues that danced in shadows
of bubbling cauldrons
as green smoke filled the air - 
that no witch will stand alone.
It was said that we will stand
and stand together,
down to every drop of blood,
down to every dry bone.

And stand we do,
for the night brought on by Man
is not the easiest to melt into
a new dawn. 
Stand we do,
for our first lines of defence
are the very hands that we bring along.

Never bring a sharp tongue 
to a witches' fight, 
it is said -
for our quiet strength alone
can bring your downfall,
as long as we stand together.

And stand, we do.

always been fascinated by the raw magic and mystery surrounding the lore on witches.
