What Zeus had kept inside the box
Broke loose from there confinement
All that was foul was now unleashed upon the world
Pandora, unable to undo what she had done, fell into despair
As she grieved, she heard a feeble quiver from the box
She lifted the lid once more, and out fluttered
A small, bright, most beautiful creature she had ever seen
It flapped its delicate wings as it danced around Pandora
Lightly brushing against her shoulder
Pandora immediately felt her angst melt away
And her heart glow with warmth
It was hope that was kept in the innermost nook of the box
It trailed behind the miasma of a darkeness
Assuaging their ill-effects on humankind
Hope gave people the will to carry on living
Amidst the pain and strife
