Bewitched

_{The Queens of Skippytrop.}

_{She’s that person, your person, who does more to your heart than you can ever actually say.}

_{she swims in the streams and channels of my heart}

Bewitched belongs to the following groups:

She picks boughs of magnolia from the tree in her garden and brings them to me in her fist as though she’s bringing me blooms of her heart to plant as my own.

She takes a day off work, treats herself to a drive in the country and leaves 50’s starlet fiction and bites of toffee treacle honey sugar on my doorstep before ringing the bell and skipping away.

She reads the language of my face.

She paints the clouds with a thousand different reminders, then captures them in a butterfly net and pins them to my wall.

She’s the ink and words from a Golden Book come to life.

She plays the Mad Hatter so I can play Alice.

She knows about the hidden debris, the mess, the harrowed whispers you don’t ever say out loud.

And she loves me anyway.

“blooms of her heart to plant as my own” – what a superbly beautiful line, how tender and poignant this is. And how perfectly right and wonderful to love and be loved by a faerie spirit like this! What awe in that discovery and what joy in that realization. So beautiful as always Holly.
