And I have lived alone
I live on an island 
And I waken to the dawn
A long time ago
I watched him struggle with the sea
I knew that he was drowning
And I brought him into me
Now today
Come morning light
He sails away
After one last night
I let him go.
My name is Calypso
My garden overflows
Thick and wild and hidden
Is the sweetness there that grows
My hair it blows long
As I sing into the wind
My name is Calypso
And I have lived alone
I live on an island
I tell of nights
Where I could taste the salt on his skin
Salt of the waves
And of tears
And though he, pulled away
I kept him here for years
I let him go
My name is Calypso
I have let him go
In the dawn he sails away
To be gone forever more
And the waves will take him in again
But he'll know their ways now
I will stand upon the shore
With a clean heart
And my song in the wind
The sand will sting my feet
And the sky will burn
It's a lonely time ahead
I do not ask him to return
I let him go
I let him go

An example of this is when Calypso says, " The sky will burn". The sky will not actually burn, this is simply showing how it feels from Calypso's point of view without Odysseus.]]> 2018-01-31 15:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/snaiyer1/wjh5b1s4zs44/wish/226604528 Viewpoints sposner1 https://padlet.com/snaiyer1/wjh5b1s4zs44/wish/226605222 This conveys a different point of view from the Odyssey, the point of view of Calypso, emphasizing her loss, and leaving out Odysseus' love of his wife.  In the Odyssey, Odysseus was portrayed as the hero and Calypso a villain.  In this poem, Odysseus was still a hero, but Calypso is no longer a villain but a sad and lonely goddess who was left alone by Odysseus.]]> 2018-01-31 15:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/snaiyer1/wjh5b1s4zs44/wish/226605222 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAo25TLSYLs snaiyer1 https://padlet.com/snaiyer1/wjh5b1s4zs44/wish/226616305 2018-01-31 15:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/snaiyer1/wjh5b1s4zs44/wish/226616305
