Superstition

 Friday the 13th, and dark clouds rise
 There is superstition in her eyes
 Will she venture out and test the fates
 Or hide behind her iron gates

 Her lover left, he won't return
 She thinks the gypsy queen will bring him back
 Magic spells she can't discern
 Her superstition is right on track

 On Halloween she's on the street
 A witch's brew, her tasty treat
 She is caught up in a bind
 Superstition is on her mind

Many people are under the bind of superstitions which have no rational explanation or authenticity. Well composed with a pinch of humor.

This was fun to read. It reminds me of the song I think by Stevie Wonder

I can only say I'm not superstitious. Yet I am careful with ladders. Don't want paint on me :)
