Myths & Tales

Myths of old, tales anew

And ones yet to be told, to masses

Or wisper behind doors shut

What's the secret they humbly bear

Deep truths are hidden best

Nowhere but at plain sight

The first few steps 'the hardest'

Of a long, perilous odyssey to come

Reluctance at first, surpassed by the need

The journey begins now though slow

A quantum leap in a whale's belly 

Brings Jonas of all time to a pace steady 

Heroes of old, now and in times to come

All bound to a fate alike

At least in tales told 

A picture painted for centuries long

In cultures and tongues beyond count

Ends with a glorious demise or happily ever after
