Fairytale #22 - The Oracle



Wisdom, words of
uttered casually but
with great intent
listen, they will make a difference
when the times comes.
the quest is long
danger lurks
can it be overcome?
courage is asked for
come gird your loins
there's adventure amongst adversity.
the fairy children might beguile you
lead you falsely
beware the one carrying gifts
keep your wits about you
carry a bit stick
even better a laser lighter
for demons hate the light
it melts their eyes
which makes them
easy targets.
The Oracle's words taken on board
ensure safe and trouble free passage
but listen carefully
sometimes its riddles
sometimes its clear
but take notice
you are only told once.

Wonderful poetic verse that speaks well of an oracle delivering a message to one on a quest.

Great imagery :)
