“all of Apollo’s partners end up leaving or dying, isn’t that weird? why is that?” BECAUSE WHO ELSEEEEE?! WHO ELSE COULD SHOULDER ALL THAT GREIF BUT THE GOD OF POETRY AND ART?!

the stories and myths are lessons, and to me the lesson of all Apollon’s lovers is that art, poetry, music, and light can all carry you through life no matter the heartbreak that comes.

Poem I've made for Lord Hypnos

Those sleepless nights are no longer here. The nightmares and bad dreams, I don’t need to fear. O’ kind sleep, blessed be your gentleness. Now because of you, my nights aren’t restless. All hail lord Hypnos Paean. The lord of sleep, and the reason I became a Pagan.

Never made a poem before, this my first try! And of course I would dedicate my first poem to Lord Hypnos :)

(English is not my first language, sorry for any mistakes, and sorry if it sucks, this was rlly my fisrt try!)
