The witch and the wizard one day made a pact to go it alone without love and life was good with the birds and the bees until flowers closed ranks and the trees grew no leaves. Magic, you see, not a mythical king called “time” on the play-act of life and set in motion a devious plan to suffer the witch and the wizard to come again unto love. Swords were drawn by that good man of war and the witch traded tears with her peers because a turn, turn around, humbles a man and makes a woman a servant to him. And so with the stubbornness of a mule the wizard sought refuge in caves and the witch, poor dear, took up her broom and flew off in a different direction. For many a year magic prevailed within that kingdom of dreams where wizards and witches unite and make of love a true delight. But magic, my friends, never can last if wizards too weak can’t open a heart and witches leave cobwebs untouched around yesterday’s manifesto. Magic is dead - squashed like a bug when we go it alone without love! Helen / 5 July 2007 |

I must admit, that when I read the title, a gasp escaped my lips! Our beloved cat, Magic, died a few months ago, and your title brought back the pain of her loss. But never fear, my dear, it was but for a fleeting moment. Keep those cobwebs from closing your heart, Honey! There is a wonderful wizard out there looking for you! Mind you, there is one wizard that I know to be unavailable and he is the husband of our Enchanting One. Perhaps in the mid of nite your wizard shall appear and will come lie by your side! winky wink Great metaphorical writing! Loving hug, Linda |

Linda - I'm so very sorry for bringing back a bad memory even if just for a fleeting moment. However, I don't believe your Magic is dead - just unseen. Hmm? I wouldn't say that wizards aren't capable of lying next to one in the dead of night or the day for that matter.  Dixie - thanks so much for the read. CWH - Good to see you here. Thank you. |
