Oracle

Before I knew my power

You coaxed me to the looking glass

Stood behind me, your arms on my waist

Nuzzled my neck

Lightning sizzled across my skin

Your façade pressing into me

Sternum to spine

You stripped me of my defense

It was a trick

I fell through the looking glass

To an alternate place and time

You stole myself,

They knocked me from my tower

I didn't stop wanting you

Even as I sat in desperation

But I found it

It was within

I reclaimed what you stole, myself

I reclaimed you

Still tall with dusty gray hair

But young and impetuous

I drew you to me to show you

what I had become

And we embraced through time

We bathed in ice and snow

I tasted your frozen breath

Our bodies tingling with cold

We danced in fire and stars

burned in the heat of suns

You called me the oracle
