Antigone

Ancient arenas
Dot valleys of green
Olive tree lined
Stoic serene

Gone is the echo
The sounds of the play
Done is the suffering
Of Antigone

Daughter of Gods
Caring and kind
Her brother’s keeper
Loyal to die

Ancient arenas
Magical myths
Beautiful backdrop
For the nymph I am with

Headstrong and honest
Gorgeous green eyed
Intriguing Igoné 
Daughter divine

Keeper of many
Righteous and kind
Incredible Igoné
Daughter of mine
