Give me reason,
And I shall define.
I am Oracle.
I am Prophecy.
I tell truth,
Not in riddles.
Leaving definitions
To be heard.
I have dreams,
Given to me.
By the gods,
By the deities.
I don’t follow,
Nor do I lead,
I simply am,
I simply live.
Life is too precious
To die in service.
Although I admire
Those who follow.
To most,
I give hope.
To others,
I give death.
Life. Death.
Hope. Dismay.
Love. Pain.
Dreams. Nightmares.
All cloud my mind,
All tell me truth.
All tell me futures
To come.
I deem truth,
I deem madness.
Because I know truth
And know madness.
Who I am,
I shall never know,
For the Lords themselves,
Of land and sea, keep it hidden from me.
I have a life,
Yet no direction,
For I am lost
Without a name.
Please forgive me
If I falter.
Life is so much more
Than the longest day.
