She wasn’t a fake witch
or a woman tortured to
confess she was one.
She was a real witch
with a mastery of
the dark arts in 1606.
Her powers waned
when she got sick
and was captured
and hung to death.
After three days
she clawed
her way out of her grave
wearing the winding sheet
she was buried in.
Returning from the dead,
her powers became stronger.
She cursed all those responsible
for her death and
turned them into lepers.
She returned to her grave
after that
and died a proper death
never to stir again.
To some people
she became like
an avenging saint.
And to this day
many visit her grave
seeking miracles.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
