Defied Apathy


They call me Wiccan. I call me Witch.
A powerful spirit in life's bloom.
Travelling within a love affair.
Entwined, graced of Sun and Moon.

Ignorance scorns forgotten ways.
Misunderstood I stand my ground.
Hallowed my body, a sacred space
pulsating within divinity's crown.

Society’s tried to take my fire,
sucking my wind in tainted veins.
But wonders I weave with Earth tears,
laughter dancing in tantric waves.

    A write that asks for understanding of ones beliefs. I know what you are speaking about in that someone I know asks for understanding with a faith like yours, and although we differ, we must agree to disagree, and still make room for one another...The whole write is of wanting understanding and acceptance....

    Very powerful! There is a magic that transcends from every stanza. The "sun and moon" are the lights that dictate our way, day and night. This poem gives understanding to the reader, and is indeed spiritual in nature. Beautiful!


    Much Love ♥

    Beautiful!

    When the people became as they are,
    a curse they put upon themselves,
    to blindness and ignorance they shall put themselves at mercy,
    and then in the darkness,
    let their life waste away.
    How can they denounce the old ways?
    The ones where nature's beauty was respected and for cared?
    and in return we got our fair share,
    until today,
    now because of this,
    we're due to meet our end.

    This is wonderful! I truly respect the Old Way and it's sad to see how discrimination pushes it away. You have a really great opening there. My favourite part:

    But wonders I weave with Earth tears,
    laughter dancing in tantric waves.

    The old ways respected and worked with nature, people will wake up to them again soon enough.

    a good opening - i especially like the second line in this first verse, let the spirit soar with joyous knowledge and self assurance in the celestial dance. aye with ignorance, we tend to fear what we do not understand in life, and one mention iof with people sadly, mistakenly think dark and evil, as you know that is not the case. keep the soul in the smiles of life. a good piece.
