Attempts at Discovery

Styx, Pallas and Charon

all tried to help me

discover my powers.

Styx brought me to

a lake of tears in the Underworld

and showed me how to control water.

I tried for days and the water

would not rise to my fingers.

Pallas showed me fire,

and how to forge.

But I simply made a mess

of every metal I tried to tame.

Charon showed me

how to manipulate the winds.

But try as I might,

I could not create

even a slight breeze

to take me anywhere.

I was determined

to find out

what I could be.

But no matter what I did,

the discovery of who I was meant

to be felt out of reach.
