White stick

It was made of wood and steel.

In the middle of the night, a wizard had his fire.

In the first daylight, the bowl was empty.

She had her stick, since her first birthday.

It is her white stick and has a family name.

But there are no watermarks, on it, no label

of eternity.

A time, was between all times.

She had a teacher.

She knew her coach.

In the meantime, a cloud changed the old, wise owl.

Wizards know they were mastered.

For the time being, all colours were

and are mixed, more than white ever could be

and could have been, become to be.
