(Inspired by Notions and Potions)
We uttered our enciphered dreams in lilting, sanguine, litanies,
And offered talisman's protections from frustration and despair.
Our astral graphs and charted paths revealed magnetic destinies,
By spells begot from simmer pots and savored incantations shared.
We vanquished all we were in smoky incense blur and ritual,
And draining draughts our souls detached to night-fly inkblot skies of fall.
Through jumps in time, we came to find such charms were ineffectual.
We called our folly magic. Though perhaps it was that, after all.
And offered talisman's protections from frustration and despair.
Our astral graphs and charted paths revealed magnetic destinies,

And draining draughts our souls detached to night-fly inkblot skies of fall.
