The Witching Hour

The witching hour draws near, as the village below lies at rest,
It's only my opinion but this hour is the best

Witches and warlocks come out to play
Useing only the moonlight to make their way

Spells are cast, witches brew 
and one lil' witch trying something new

By her cauldron, Hot in the fire
Final touches are added;
Her heart's desire

Around the cauldron she begins to dance and sing
Other soon join her and do the same thing

She begins to chant, 
others still dance by her  flame
"Oh GREAT ONE," she cries,
"I shall call you by name"

"Oh goddess  of earth, fire, water and air
give me  a sign, let me know you are there"

A gust of wind sweeps through the forrest, 
out almost goes the flame
Then the strange wind gone again,
as oddly as it had came

The other stood in silence,
some dazed and confused
Other were excited,
some amazed and amused

The lil' witch stood only with a smile,
quite confident of her power;
"That's what happens" she said smugley
"When your with me in the witching hour!"
