A hat to look the part,
A familiar for companionship,
An inferno to awe,
A hex to transfix,
A chant to bewitch.
A potion to fall in love,
A ward to soothe heartbreak,
An alchemical formula to rebuild,
A lightning bolt to annihilate,
A typhoon to punish.
A wand to focus your might,
A word of power to challenge the gods,
An enchantment for sustenance,
A bound angel for heavenly guidance,
A pact with evil for infernal privilege.
Witch, wizard or warlock,
You choose your own magic,
You choose your own brand of sorcery,
You choose your own way.
I really like this! Especially that second stanza. But I wonder, did you mean ‘sooth’ or ‘soothe’? Because I read it as soothe but sooth is actually a word so I’m just checking.
Thank you kindly sir! Now, I’m unsure which I meant. I feel that the spell check on here doesn’t always coincide with how I spell things due to the whole American-British divide in the English language. Thanks for pointing that out though. š
