Penelope's Ode to Odysseus

Resurrect me from this spiritless life,

It’s hard to live with feelings of yearning.

My soul is lost due to Distance’s strife;

Opaque thoughts if you’re even returning.

Don’t be guided by those Sirens away.

Evade from lonesome life to be with me.

The adventure and love you seek may lay

Within home, Our personal Odyssey.

I long for the love and comfort of home

That familiarity breeds within.

Hark! Help! With these monsters I am alone,

These sloth suitors who refuse to give in.

One must be chosen since ten years went by,

and I long for family, for tears to dry.
