tell a story

a poem dedicated to art and folklore

tell a story,

short or long,

let the characters speak,

forget your voice for now.

tell a story,

true to its soul,

let the wind take the words around,

let the fire within it blaze the sounds.

tell a story,

it need not speak of now,

it need not be fantastic,

need not speak of crowns.

tell a story,

you will seldom feel alone,

it will capture the imagination,

visuals galore.

tell a story,

it will not remain yours,

trees will not speak up anytime soon.

tell a story,

the mountains are away,

resting with civilizations,

fossils and stones.

tell a story,

oceans and rivers are tired,

move another soul.

tell a story

it need not be yours.
