Echoes echoing
East and west these
Words yank and pull
To then fro
Both sides welling
With heightened will

A woman two women
I know not known by
Snap crackle and pop
With wit and discretion
Known only to them
Both right both wrong

All balance fights fought
These opposing forces both
Benevolent in nature

In their quest to aid this traveler
Confused to a sought world
He has never known
A world he has yet to see
In this position he cannot tell

The motive of these catalysts
Not of one not of either
Yet in the same underlying thought
It is obvious to him and all others

Behind him is failure and
Triumph in its faded glow and glory
The trials of he and his influencers
The trials of his heart’s inhabitants

Struck and standing in an unknown
Void he knows not which path to choose
As three unhindered goddess stab him
With an ominous inescapable fork

With this pain in his side
In his back
In his mind
Choice becomes but a dream
To the ones faced with it
An illusion to entertain those
That watch from afar

Tug tug tug
To and fro
He feels this pressure
Gentle as it may be
Rains kerosene within his body

Caught, seemingly with no escape
He screams!
Screams!
Screams!

Then calm

His choice is made
The pulling ceases
His strength prevails
And tribulation becomes but
An echo

It echoes, that echo in the wind
Riding across the land and sea
Across the rocks licked by
The ocean’s waves

The waves that drench the flames
In my mind and rusts the chains
Tied to my arms so that
God’s gift to man may lead
Him

He who is I
To greatness
To tragedy
Or simply to content.
