Odongo

In the shadows of wisdom, Odongo stands tall,

His mentor's words, a guiding call.

"Seek not in words, but in deeds displayed,

If they lack your desires, let their voices fade.

In the quietude, he hears the sage's decree,

"If they lack the substance, let them be free."

Odongo listens, a steadfast heart,

To the mentor's wisdom, a priceless art.

"If dreams elude in the words they convey,

Forge your own path, let them not sway."

A mantra woven in the mentor's speech,

Odongo absorbs the lessons, soul within reach.

Through life's symphony, he strides along,

Discerning truth in the mentor's song.

"If they lack the essence of your yearning fire,

Silence their echoes, let your dreams inspire."

Odongo, a pupil of time and strife,

Gleans from the mentor the essence of life.

In the echoes of wisdom, a resilient cue,

To navigate dreams, steadfast and true.
