Just A Spectator Here
by Elfin Moon Owl
Age Group: Teen
I'm just a spectator here
Watching
Watching
Watching, never talking
I'm just a spectator here
You never notice me
But I notice you
Watching, never talking
They hurt you
But never do they touch me
I'm just a spectator here
Watching, never talking
I can help you
But you won't let me
You don't need my help
Or do you?
As I watch, you are being degraded
You are falling apart
But you ignore my offers of help
After all, I'm just a spectator here
I may be naught but a spectator
You may not want my help
Your male pride will be your downfall
Unless you let me heal you
Again, you refuse
"I need no women's magic"
I'm just a spectator here; watching, never talking
I know you do
I turn and leave you lying there
You are secretly sad to see me go
You enjoy my displays of care for you
Meanwhile, I am preparing
It is the waxing of the moon
The best time
For growth of health
I am nearly ready
I gather my tools
I cast the Circle
Calling in the Watchtowers
I begin the healing ritual
You see me there
In my Circle
A vision
In your fevered sleep
You are repulsed
"Satanist!" you think
"Stop your evil work!"
I am no satanist, and if I stop, you will die
You wish for me to stop
You are deathly afraid of me
But there is nothing you can do
You're just a spectator here
I am filled with power
I can work great changes
If I so choose
I choose to change you
Morning comes
You are nearly unconsciouss
I am kneeling beside you
Sobbing, despite your contempt for me
The doctors come
"There is no hope"
" Wait" I plead
"Goddess willing, he will live"
The doctors smile pityingly
"We hope so"
I fumble at the chain
Around my neck
A pentacle emerges
One doctor bows his head in reverance
I hold it above your heart
I say a prayer
Goddess help this man
He is dear to me
Though I am not dear to him
Please, let him live
I draw a pentagram
Above your face
Brisingr, adurna, deloi, ruach
I quickly evoke the elements
You fall into a coma
We wait
The doctor moves
To unplug the life support
"Wait" I say
Five more minutes
A wave of energy sweeps through the room
Only you and I can feel it
You flutter your eyelids
All gasp
Impossible. It is a miracle
You are alive
I smile
"Thank you Goddess"
You realize slowly waht has happened
"Thank you."
Now you respect me
Me and my Craft
You no longer say
"Women's magic, bah!"
You are now unsure
What to believe
My Goddess saved you
I asked her, and you are here and well
You try to forget this experience
You return to your Church
I smile and go about by buisness
Relieved beyond measure
We pass on the street
You don't acknowledge me
I see you, you don't see me
Once again, I'm just a spectator here
Author's Notes: This is another poem inspired by a song from In Tune With Spirit.
I would agree that doing magick on someone without permission from them is generally bad, but I think for the situation depicted in the poem it is allowable.
This poem has hidden meanings all throughout, like a lot of poetry. For instance, the "they" is evil magyks and such.
This is not a true story.
It is simply a way to express the power we witches have and the discrimination against us from primarily christian men.
The tale of a woman who isn't seen by the one she loves is something I'm sure many of us can relate to, although I'm not entirely sure why she loves the man in the poem.
Come up with some thoughts and email them to me!
