They have been standing here a long time
Their aim was to deter the pestilence from destroying
The old city and the fertile fields surrounding it
The city and its people have long moved away from this place
But they are standing here as a reminder of what they were
The three sisters, or some called them the three witches
Their appearance is of dried sticks and lifeless bodies
But in the heart of these creatures lies the ancient power
No one can harm them or move them from their place
And if you stick around at the time of the blood moon
You can see their bone chilling dance when they come to life

For visually challenged writers, the image shows three figures that seem to be female and made of branches, with their hands joined.

You captured this perfectly. I think they do come alive at times to cast their spells, be they of light or darkness.
