Lethe, the chosen theme
|
||||
this week
|
||||
at the writer's meeting
|
||||
is the hero's journey.
|
||||
Three stages, like a butterfly chrysalis:
|
||||
the initiation,
|
||||
metamorphosis,
|
||||
and then return to the world of origin.
|
||||
|
||||
I wouldn't to you necessarily assign
|
||||
the role of hero: I know you're benign
|
||||
and harbor a weighty guilt at the thought of causing any harm,
|
||||
but then again, we labored so long
|
||||
to unbind you from the chains
|
||||
of your fate
|
||||
so you could without constraint
|
||||
sing your heart's grand song.
|
||||
|
||||
Set out from Rainroom
|
||||
when I thought you'd met certain doom
|
||||
having burned to ash and an Eye passed through.
|
||||
You already know in painful detail
|
||||
how I deteriorated without you there,
|
||||
how I rejoiced when your uncle located
|
||||
where you'd alighted
|
||||
in this Inside
|
||||
against your chaotic will.
|
||||
|
||||
Oh, Lethe, I've been trying to bring you home,
|
||||
to hasten whatever initiation fate demands
|
||||
so we can go live in Sablade just like we always planned.
|
||||
What journeys still lie ahead?
|
||||
What foes to subdue - or befriend instead?
|
||||
What forms to take?
|
||||
What fears to shake?
|
||||
I'll be at your side
|
||||
with my staff and my life
|
||||
even after the writing prompt's timer ends.
