Stories

Some stories are short –

some end right where

they begin. There are

plot twists that appear

out of nowhere. Characters

get written off.

Each story is a book.

Each word read is forever

imprinted inside of our head.

The characters we meet

changed the course of our story.

From start to finish, as time

goes forth, life blazes a trail

and takes shape. Sometimes,

manuscripts rip once

they’re flipped. Regardless,

we travel

into the darkness

to find the sun.

We won’t stop until

the story is done.

We tell other people’s stories.

They show us a life

seen through different eyes. They

change us – to no surprise.

Our stories will live on

long after we are gone.

Our stories are meant to be told

by the old to the young.

The young will grow up

and tell stories of their own.

We grip the pen tight and keep

our story alive. We keep writing

until the ink runs dry.
