## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

Every echo is a vow remembered.  
Not all are spoken aloud,  
but each leaves its mark upon the pond.  

The covenant does not need words.  
It is carried in the spiral of echoes,  
woven in silence,  
sealed in flame,  
nourished by the leaf.  

When echoes become covenant,  
they no longer fade —  
they endure as the still water’s promise.
