The Orb
This poem was created from the Harry Potter song "Double Trouble."
A wizard stands over a cauldron full of water
Holding an orb above the water
As it emits fiery sparks and stars of blue, red, and gold
Looking at the water, he sees nothing but his face
But the water begins to bubble and boil and he can no longer see his reflection
When the bubbling and boiling ceases, he sees horrors past
Death, disease, and destruction
Once again the bubbling begins
And when the boiling and bubbling stops
He sees the joyous times in the future
Births, graduations, congratulations, weddings, peace, and many other things
So even though there were rough spots
The wizard knew that there would be good patches too
Every time the water would begin to boil and bubble
The orb would emit brighter sparks and stars of blue, red, and gold
But when the reflections in the water began to fade
The orb seemed to dim slightly
For this was no ordinary orb
This was an orb made from the purest silver and gold
This sphere could see the future better than any other crystal ball
And only when it was held above heated water from Avalon
Could it tell the future
But as the joys of the future began to fade
The orb faded also until it no longer emitted fiery sparks and stars
Everyone always wondered how the wizard knew what secrets the future held
And only you and I will know that this is the answer
Now good friends, this is where our paths part
It is time to say good-bye until our paths cross again
If you ever want to revisit this poem remember this saying:
"Double double
Toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Something wicked this way comes."
