In the morning
Before the sun rises
My love, you must leave me behind
Run to the hills on where the tulips grow in spring
There you will find a letter buried beneath the snow
It will be the last of its kind
For tonight I must pass on to another world
Run as far as you can
These people who were once our friends
Have turned their backs on us now
The snicker and whisper
In their houses, before the fire
As it crackles and pops through the night
They used to love us
Call us helpers
But now we are witches
Who must pay the cost
For the lives lost in this village
My child, you must run through the western forest
On the fourth night
After I have burned and left my curses
Go to the old tree and tell him your name
Learn the ways of those who were maimed
Take time my child
For you are the last of our kind
Fear not of the darkness that lingers still
And take not the drop of life
Seek not revenge
Lest it makes your heart evil
Live as we did with our heart in our hand
Take my last breath
As I wish you farewell
Let the light lead you
Through our darkest spell
And let your heart
Be good and pure
For only then shall you join me again
In a realm where no hate lives
And a den where the dawn greets the day.
Creative. It allows the reader to think deeper and beyond the story it tells on the surface. I love this piece. I love how the story is built up. I even read this one aloud, srsly! Each turn was told in a very imaginative way ❤
