Echo
#WritcoPoemPrompt35
By the flickering light of an ancient lamp,
By the twinkling waters of an ancient river,
The dancer entertains the heathen enemies.
This vicious history forever etched in stone,
Is a vile discovery.
The wind winds up, gust of buried fumes,
Alas alas! The past exhumes!
Humankind learned to rewind timeline,
The dancer entertains, never draws the line.
Aged feelings, grey-haired dwellings
All unearthed, all reborn; the prophecy had whispered:
"Come with clothes untorn."
Recurring era in unlike chapters,
The dancer's song of chimera.
Long live the "loathe",
Long live the frail oath.
