Mantra of Life

Oh mighty Ode ancient and revered
Grant me the Wisdom of old
One that thou bestoweth upon them
mine ancestors eons ago
who walked beneath thy great mantle of strength

hear my plea o ancient one
guide me through this sojourn in life
rain upon me wealth and health
cover me in the prosperity of thy embrace

with this my blood
I doth sprinkle
on this ancient tablet
of thy revered name
with this I sprinkle
my life liquefied
in the blood of my body

Grant me Great Ode
My innermost wishes,,🌹

Mantra

I am a good witch
A strong witch and I will succeed

But then why are these tarot cards failing me?
I am a good witch and I  will succeed

I will not stoop to evil or death as per the cards I turn
Should I reshuffle the deck, start anew?
But would that be tempting fate?

I am a good witch and I will succeed
So I will take a break, go to my cookbooks
Prepare a lovely pumpkin pie
And rhubarb delicacies
So next time she comes over
I will be prepared and civil to a  T

I am a good witch
So why do I have this awful urge
to add a drop of poison in the rhubarb mix?

I Write My Own Destiny

The midnight sun is out again
The earth below baths in her soft light
The wind brings echoes of a timeless melody
Ancestral music to my heart.

Each star has a story to tell in their gleaming light
A story is told for you, and a story is told for me
Nothing else needs to be said
But if you must, write your thoughts down.

Words unlock the gates of my reserved soul
If you’re patient enough, you can catch a glimpse
Of who I was, who I am, and who I’ll become
Do you dare to venture further?

I often delve within myself
To better understand my purpose
This is what’s imprinted on my essence
“I write my own destiny.”

Preposterous poetry of depart
shows nothing off but my heart.
So the end is all of a great start.

I wanna fly..in the sky...!

Oh Lord…I am a very beautiful creature… I thank you that you sent me into this big world in the form of a fish…You have given me glossy lips, beautiful eyes n curvy body. you have carved wonderful designs on my body.. You have given me beautiful delicate wings to swim.. N I'm really thankful to you God...  
 
But hey Lord...I am sad about one thing.. my ancestors were breathing and were dead in this big ocean.. and I too breathing in this limited world..O Lord, please give me chance, give me the power to fly in the sky like a bird.. whenever I try to fly out of the water towards the sky, I feel as if two huge stones have been tied to my wings...
 
Oh Lord... a storm comes in my life at any time.. my parents and siblings get separated from me at any time.. humans catch them in their net...they cut us and eat us.. I don't want such a death... I want the higher sky...  
 
I don't want to live like my friend in a swimming pool the size of a palm..One of my friends liked some man and he took her to his house...he kept her in mattress filled with water..and  her life became limited in the mattress...  
 
O Lord...have we committed such bad deeds that we did not get a free life? Like birds, humans and other animals.. hey Lord.. why is our world so limited?? other aquatic creatures like us can live both in water and on land.. Why didn't we get a chance to live in the lap of soil?

I'm a natural healer
I love to heal

To heal is my will

The power within to heal
Notion making my mind reel
Deep healing

That being said
I will focus
On ultimate
Healing
Till the very end

It is in my very nature
To heal
It is so unbelievably
Real
