Visions of the Soothsayer

In shadows deep where whispers weave,
A soothsayer sits, her heart upturned,
With ancient stones and flickering leaves,
In candlelight, the past is burned.
Her eyes, a mirror of time's great sea,
Reflect the futures yet to be.

With silver hair like starlit night,
And fingers worn from paths unknown,
She speaks in riddles, cloaked in light,
Of secrets lost and futures grown.
Her voice, a breeze through willow trees,
Brings echoes of the world's unease.

Come gather round, ye souls in need,
For truth, she weaves with threads of fate;
With crystal ball and whispered creed,
She holds the keys to love and hate.
In circles drawn upon the floor,
She reads the signs, the evermore.

A touch of grace, a breath of doubt,
The past and present twist and twine;
With every gaze, she pulls about
The threads of fate, the grand design.
“Your heart is heavy; let it soar,
For love awaits beyond this door.”

But in the lines upon her palm,
There lies a shadow of despair;
“Beware the storm, the coming calm,
For life can change, a fleeting prayer.
The paths you tread, both dark and bright,
Are drawn in shades of day and night.”

She points to stars in velvet skies,
“A glimpse of what your soul has sought;
The dreams you chase, the hidden cries,
Are caught in webs that fate has wrought.
Embrace the light, yet heed the dark,
For every journey leaves a mark.”

The townsfolk come with hearts laid bare,
With questions deep, and hopes that swell;
In search of love, they linger there,
Each story shared, a secret spell.
“Will he return? Is she the one?
Will I find peace before the sun?”

With every tale, she spins a thread,
Of joy and sorrow, loss and gain,
Her words like petals gently spread,
And linger sweetly like the rain.
“A chance encounter waits for thee,
But trust in love; let love be free.”

Yet shadows flicker in her gaze,
As if the future holds its breath;
A storm is brewing, through the haze,
And fate’s cruel hand brings forth its depth.
“Prepare thy heart for trials ahead,
For in the light, some truths lie dead.”

But hope, she says, is never lost,
For even in the darkest night,
The path we take, no matter cost,
Can lead to love, can lead to light.
“Embrace the journey, hold it dear,
For every tear brings forth the clear.”

The soothsayer's voice, a gentle balm,
In every word, a whispered peace;
She weaves a spell, a sacred psalm,
Where doubts and fears begin to cease.
With every vision shared and spun,
She reminds them all that life is fun.

As twilight falls, her work is done,
The candles flicker, the shadows fade,
Yet in her heart, a race begun,
For time, it flows like an endless blade.
She holds the stories of the night,
In every word, a spark of light.

So seek her out when you’re in need,
For truth can find you, if you dare;
In dreams and visions, she will lead,
The soothsayer’s gift, a whispered prayer.
With open hearts, and open minds,
The future waits, and fate unwinds.
