Square Pillow “The Storyteller of Ancient Echoes”

**The Storyteller of Ancient Echoes**

Before language was given form,
before sound was encoded with meaning,
there was rhythm.

Drumbeats in the dust.
Footsteps circling fire.

Ivory wings rising in time
with the call of the land

and the turning of the seasonal wheel.

Before history was penned to paper,
there was only memory—
and the sharing of memory.

The mind’s eye was cinema,
and pattern held purpose,

embossed in gold
on delicate, earth-toned wings.

The drumbeat is not gone.

It became a wingbeat.

It carried the old knowing
into new skies.

This is the Storyteller of Ancient Echoes—

a keeper of rhythm, intention,
and collective memory.

Listen closely.
Look deeply.

Learn what has been forgotten.
