Echo
July 6, 2022
Birds conversing in the spring
Come to a screeching halt
A cry for help is echoing
But not from a person’s call.
The gentle spirit of nature
Has found her voice at last
The gods have lifted her punishment
They let her relive her past.
Echo is herself again,
A talkative and bubbly girl,
She thanks the gods for freedom
And swears to remain peaceful.
Echo cries in joy, yet in moderation
But her freedom is short lived, this joyful liberation.
Echo falls back to her own ways
And her opinions go astray
The gods were filled with rage
So, they ended her last days.
And thus, are birthed second chances
A hope to redeem yourself
But carefully ponder your decisions
For thou might expose thyself.

I have always been very interested in Greek and Roman mythology, and my love for mythology led me to writing about Echo. As a target of retribution, Echo becomes a victim of a heartbreaking end, and her touching story motivated me to try to inspire some optimism in this tale while still retaining the original message. I was still able to incorporate some of my own beliefs in this extension of Echo's story.
