*A Word In The Telling*

I am a story now

A simple word in the ancient book

That has always been.

I am

The ink, the paper

The plot twist and the author.

A small part in a novel

More brilliant than any I will ever write.

I am a verse

In a poem of epic desire

The mortal woman that set the gods afire.

I am a girl in a painting

I am a painter looking at the girl.

I wanted to be part of a great story

And now the story is mine

And I am only a word

A word passing through

A ballad of love

Chance meetings

And truth.

I am the woman that waits

The man that fights

The sailor that travels guided by light

Over the ocean

Through infinite night

And still as ever

Just a simple word in a legend

A legend written by the hand that writes them all.

…

Am I the word

Or the hand

The hero

Or his muse

Am I the dreamer or the one he dreams of

Am I all of these

Or none of the above.

It doesn’t matter…

It is enough

Just to be a word

In the telling of a story

That has always been.

That’s one from my book I was just going through it to pick a poem to share and realized how many stories & poems I’ve written before this and since that are not in this book. I’m actually publishing another soon, have been working on it for years now but this week I’m putting it all together, creating the cover, uploading, etc so it shouldn’t be long! In the mean time you can download this one for free this week.
