stories exist in black and white 

stories lead us with their light

stories are many, listeners few

maybe if i was more than what I am now, there would be a longer que

stories carry lessons

stories share blessings

they present us a chance to rekindle some feelings

stories explore aethereal places

all of them may not be true

but nothing is the same, always new

alas, my stories have recurring phases 

perhaps they require someone who's mastered the mazes

a labyrinth of thoughts and life experiences 

i cannot say much, not with my unfledged senses 

so if it is a story of life you wish to hear

there is not much to say, i fear

perhaps one day when my time has come

i shall leave you with stories, every little one 

the stories you may take as memories of mine

for stories are stored with the writer's time 


The author's comments:

this poem was brought to you by one of my top 100 most embarrassing moments ( i'm sure there's more to come). i the MC to introduce a story teller from a troop who had visited our school, but i ended up butchering their name (apologies to the person by the way). anyway, since the whole experience was related to story telling, i was inspired to write this poem about stories. i know it may not have much relation, but such is the mind of one who suffers with ADHD (self-diagnosed).

 

if you think about it, stories are often just someone's experiences, or something someone wishes they have experienced, or the sprout from someone's memories. so its kind of like a photo album, except instead of photos, they're someone's thoughts and feelings
