A Plea To the Priestess

Oh, Pythia, will I find a mate Priestess of Apollo, guide my fate Many miles I’ve traveled to beseech Only to learn the forecast you’ll preach Scholars congregate seeking answers To tear down mystical barriers Outcomes of our wars you have foretold Now it is my outlook that you hold Great Oracle of Delphi in Greece, Can you help my lonely heart find peace Spartan warriors I can’t entice Take my gold; I’ll gladly pay your price Just to have a glimpse of future days Hoping to hear a comforting phrase Words that spark interpretation At your mercy is my salvation *For Rick’s “Oracle” contest
