Telemachus

My life has been simple and easy

blinded with wealth and feast.

My father has always been a mystery

from what I’ve been told by surrounding suitors.

They believed great Odysseus has gone far from home

stuck in the mist of death and despair.

But a dream came to me

brought by Pallas Athena, a journey created to bring my father.

I went on my journey

that the bright eyed goddess has set for me.

I was frightened by the outside world, my courage went against me.

But the strategic goddess came along.

What wonderful goddess!

As mentor she appeared through the journey she planed out

taught me the ways,

to become a real man

opened up my eyes from my blindness, from the mist of fear

awakened me from my suitors,

gave me the strength to stand against them.

She changed my beliefs, allowed me to finally bring

the Great Odysseus back home.
