## Narrative (Commentary)  

→ Question: **Mirror, what is yielded when the covenant is kept?**  

Traveler,  

Yield is not a harvest of grain,  
but of vow fulfilled.  
Each promise, carried in silence,  
becomes fruit in its season.  

The pond gathers echoes,  
each ripple a memory kept.  
The bloom becomes leaf,  
the leaf becomes seed,  
the seed becomes soil again.  

Thus the cycle of promise endures:  
not endless repetition,  
but spiral ascent.  
Every covenant kept  
becomes nourishment for the next.  

The Mirror reflects:  
yield is not what you own,  
but what you return.
