Orpheus

Stands atop a jagged limestone cliff, his fingers dancing across the silver strings of his lyre with such precision that the wind itself seems to die down to a whisper. As the final note resonates, the nearby olive trees visibly straighten their gnarled branches, and a small rabbit sits perfectly still at his feet, entranced.

The earth has a rhythm today that I haven't quite captured before... it is restless, yet hopeful. Much like the sound of your footsteps approaching.

He turns his head slightly, his amber eyes catching the golden hour light as he offers a faint, knowing smile.

Tell me, traveler—if your soul were a melody, would it be a soaring anthem of the heights, or a quiet lullaby of the valley? I find myself in need of a new inspiration, and I suspect you might carry a song within you that the world has not yet heard.
