Magic through the wizard’s hand Waves dimly. We don’t understand, Wondering how we got here, Trembling short of breath with fear. There’s that forest, dense and dark. Demons hide. Beware their bark. Expose them. Choose and let life be. Reject what’s dark for majesty.
Linked to dVerse Quadrille where Linda Lee Lyberg is hosting with the word “magic”.

I love that your fairy tale beginning has a strong underlying moral, Frank. Scary lines for scary times:
‘There’s that forest, dense and dark.
Demons hide. Beware their bark.’
