Unrequited Love

An ambitious druid set out to recover an omnipotent ancient fluid She was a kind witch with a wee twitch about to discover a glitch Laboured with great force to go back to the Source and in due course She tabled a motion to produce a lotion or potion for better emotion Applied for a grant to enchant with the Council of Fairy Queen Dreams Because she was sicken and poverty stricken and needed support to comfort Required assistance to overcome resistance to cast a spell and quell the cartel Of warring factions that had gained traction shouting war score and gore ‘Let me make some agent at the sorcerers’ pageant and tame insane pain That derives from seeds of greed and loony fixation on vicious vexation’ She ground fresh chamomile with a smile for healing dope in good hope Crushed tea tree leaves and stinging nettle petals for release of peace As foundation for libation she added more tricks to the mix and stirred fur And holly berries infused and enthused cherries and compassion with passion To fuel the tasty gruel she injected thyme and some lime and peat for a treat Boiled the kettle full mettle with wood from the beach and threw in a peach She sat on a willow pillow and offered for free her meal for people to heal No taker they thought she’ a faker so for their concern she added some fern And to convince she put a handful of quince and cold marigold into the fold Yet when she accepted that people were too infected and simply objected To spreading good will with delicious food skill she exclaimed 'what a shame’ Feasted on spruce juice and a tooth and went into space to start a new race Starting from zero she became a hero and hailed a rage with heavenly sage They built her a shrine with galaxy wine and accepted what earthlings rejected The moral of the tale is when all else fails you find an innovative place to grind Change perspective and position and decide to complete your fine mission Where you can feed other’s need without angry fear of what is so dear 16th October 2019
