Do you ever talk to the sky

Because it’s blue

Because it’s quiet

Because it’s there

And does it ever reply

Not out loud of course, there are more ways of talking than with words

-l.m.

[the-tall-witch]

what is it to be free? 

is it walking in the woods together 

the sunlight making your white dress glow 

your hair catching in the wind

is it running through a field with abandon 

not waiting for them to catch up 

feeling your bare feet hit the ground and sink in ever so slightly 

or is it simply being alone 

standing in the sun with your eyes closed 

tasting the goodness of the day on your tongue 

-l.m.

[the-tall-witch]

in my house 

life hangs from the ceiling 

magic is a breeze in the air 

the scent of spring fills my nose 

in my house 

love sinks into the floorboards 

light streams through the windows 

happiness is so strong you can smell it 

this is my home 

-l.m.

[the-tall-witch]

burn candles on windowsills 

let small lights illuminate 

relax in a drowsy dusk

sink into meditation and let go 

open your mind to nothingness 

close your eyes  

breath in -- and breath out 

let your soft breath extinguish the flame 

sit in darkness now 

savour it 

-l.m.

We are the web, we are the beautiful, fragile, dew-soaked web

Perhaps in the haze it is hard to see it, but we are

Dusk envelops us like a warm hug

[the-tall-witch]

sink your fingertips into the moss 

feel it softly like you would a cat 

stroke the earth and give her love

notice the new life growing 

it’s spring and things are living 

aren’t you lucky to be living too 

-l.m.

[the-tall-witch]

look up 

don’t forget the magic in the sky 

find freedom in the leaves

let the green seep into your skin 

find strength in the trees 

see the light shining through the canopy 

tell your secrets to the silence 

whispers swept away with wind 

- l.m.

[the-tall-witch]

eyes with truth and spark

beautiful and full of life 

black cats hold magic
