I’m Crossing The Threshold My Hero Couldn’t Reach

Ode to my oracle — my first love.

His cape was of the transparent kind
so to me, it was enormous
it wrapped around me tenfold,
embracing my shortcomings
on the days I needed magic
an enchanted sanctuary I’d find
rapturous, idolizing, without seeing
in him a fault.
