Zen witch?

 

The golden yellow tabby 

sat comfortably in front of her favorite book. 

As she flipped each page after carefully

reading it, she realized that she was 

going to have to test it out. 

Who would she test it out on though?

She didn't have an owner. 

Oh no, she owned them all. 

However, she wanted someone clueless

to test her new found skills on, so  

she began to look around and then boom! 

The vision came to her mind front and center!

The old man. 

Of course the old man! 

That's who she would try it on. 

That dirty old man was coming into the library

a lot lately. 

And each time, he would just whip out his

dirty grummy hands 

and he dared to touch her. 

Ugh! The disgrace. 

He never even asked her. 

He would just reach on over and pet her head.

Front to back, 

front to back... 

Occasionally stopping right at her ears and scratching..

Good Lord why! 

Why did he have to start up her rotors?

For that he will surely pay.

She continued to read her book diligently 

sitting in her favorite comfy chair, 

when she heard the door open. 

Oh no! 

Could it be him already?

It couldn't be.

Could it?

He's an hour early!

She wasn't ready. 

Not yet. 

Not Yet. 

 

Chomp Chump

As the lights flashed before him, 

he knew he had to get them. 

In order to get to the next level 

of his evolution, it was up to him 

to follow the light. 

Sounds easy right?

Well it wasn't. 

Every time he began his journey, 

they too would begin theirs. 

However, their mission was to live off chasing him

until he got cornered and then 

they would win. 

Who were they? 

They were his fears. 

His shadows.

His Ghosts.

The more he ran to follow the light, 

the more his ghosts sped up to catch up to him.

There was one slightly overlooked detail though. 

In every corner where he could get trapped, 

was a secret power available to him.

Some people would call it magic.

Some would say it's a super power.

But he knew damn well it was his gifts.

His gifts that needed activating 

by first seeing it. 

Then accepting it. 

And finally activating it.

These super powers of who God had made him to be,

 were what always 

got him to the next level. 

And that was magical.
