The Decisive Witch

watched
by night-filled eyes
her feet
held back
by the want
of the winds

still she moves
knowing
the intermittent lack

able to reach
through a trusted light
tight with energy

only to release it
smoothing
the erratic edges
of a stone

the spell
now gone
to its rightful place

like the ink
from quills
to pages of poetry.
