some are colorful and vivid
with good witches and
figures dressed in white;
can you guess who they are?
they always smile and
leave you inclined to
remember what they say -
innate wisdom to guide you
through the day
then, there are nightmares
with their relentless burden;
once they arrive you wonder
if you'll ever again spend
any time in a place of light;
you wake up with great fright
and run to turn the lamp on
so that they don't seize you
but they already have;
that's why you're seeing
these dark melting faces
then one day those just flee
unless you erroneously
chose to follow their advice
just like the ones that
came from the light;
on that day, you don't
run to the switch; instead
the light that you kept on
is turned off by your aide
who communicates
don't be afraid
and you're finally ok
with the pitch-black
because now you're
the white witch
