Oracle

Oracle (Noun : a priest or priestess acting as a medium through whom advice or prophecy was sought from the gods in classical antiquity.) He speaks in Virtue She is a sign language interpreter He delivers in messages Sad news. Sad news. Sad News. It is all about an old scarf; old, but a nice one, An almost invalid try to cherish a long-forgotten memory, As life talks in many ways, through ups and downs, glum and glee, Also, in a subtle tone, through the tremendous lens of wiser perception, Only to find… That fine line… Between memory and fascination…. As time goes on… I realized slowly… In all the last efforts to see her glowing in my mirror, In all the extra time of stirring to make the dish as perfect as her, I was a mere shadow of a proxy, figuring a rather twenty-four-hour job Never quite touched the finish line, never got spirited enough to cope up. A sigh of relief, a deep memory of belongingness, could, still, hold the essence An old scarf, an embroidered one, only enough to hold on to the long, long lost one.
