IT’S ALL IN THE STARS

Hidden magic

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Tarot cards and twinkling stars and glowing crystal balls,

Psychic fairs and psychopaths and images on the wall.

*

Sleek black cats and flying bats and tasty loving potions,

Amulets and gold trinkets and brews and other notions.

*

Palm readers and sooth seers, spells and incantations,

Witch’s pots and Salem’s lots cause frightening sensations.

*

It’s difficult understanding occult and practicing your craft;

Some aren’t kind, say you’ve lost your mind and consider you quite daft.

*

Behind me they’ll sneak, and in private they’ll speak of a magic they don’t understand.

They never knew; it’s not like voodoo, and don’t right, won’t hurt any man.

*

So, in front of my candle, I’ll hold my broom handle and practice to my heart’s delight.

It that makes me a witch, then I really can’t twitch – I only do THAT at night!!
