Spectrum of the witch

Another short concept. I'm experimenting with different styles

In front of you is a road. The road is dark grey and made of a smooth brick. You see grey in front of you. You yourself are grey. You feel the same but you have lost all color in your body.  As your feet begin to move you forward, all that is around you is color. The road is still grey and the pigment on your body is still grey.

 

To the left is a garden. Moss covers the ground up to the fountain in the distance. On the fountain is a white witch.  She is drinking the water and she sees you. Her finger curls as she invites you over.  You look to your right and see gold fields as far as the eye can see. You are mesmerized by the vast plains in front of you.  

 

“It can all be yours my sweet” says the witch as she appears behind you. Her clothes are now a scarlet shade of red. She floats around you as if she is a ghost. “What is it you desire?” You stare at her as her clothes now appear black. “I seek…” she presses her finger on your lips. The color in your body appears once again.  Your eyes fill with tears. You can feel again.

 

“All you have to do is give yourself to the mind. All of your thoughts flux in the grey. You know this is bad for you….” Her garments turn white again. “Come drink from the philosopher’s fountain and all the pain will be gone.” You walk off the road and you begin to float towards the fountain.  Your mind blank…the pain is gone….the colors emerge….and then you know. The answers are clear and she leads you into the light.

I like the story of the witch in the story. I like how she changed colors and become many things in the story.
“Come drink from the philosopher’s fountain and all the pain will be gone.”
A very nice ending to a excellent poem.
