+Library Prompt I
+2024-03-27
+
+***
+
+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.
