Listening to every heart

You are the Storyteller

Hello storyteller, we're pleased you are here
you glimpsed the title, it drew you near
for it is within you to engrave the line
that brings the tangle to close up fine

Hello raconteur, you weaver of life
it is within you to tell of the strife
it is within you to weave the dream
in your life's blood of papers by ream

Hello teller of tale, in your cloth a story
on walls in caves, in fields of glory
in dreams unbound, in spirit it flies
you writer of prose, and poetry’s guise

For within you rests this burden to share
to lift, to guide, ah, a chronicler rare
a gift that you bestow, this onus of care
to pen of love, your point middling to fair

To write of thought, to disclose a spark
to travel the waves, in this, your ark
to speak from the heart, this wayward way
to encompass all life, in what you would say

Hello storyteller, we're pleased you are here
hello raconteur, you weaver of life so fine
hello teller of tales, in your cloth lies the tear
for within your breast is our story entwined.

(smiles) Oh Karilea, this is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, you truly are a masterful raconteur who always paints lovely images in purple haze with Irish green and out from behind the mist emphasizes a wide array of beauty and emotion! (smiles) This is excellent, sweet friend, keep on writing as always, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Hey, I'm a storyteller
A simple little feller
Who tries to weave some tales of life for you
'Cause it would be displeasin'
And there would be no reason
If there were no one to tell stories to!

Yes, I'm a storyteller!
I'm rich as Rockefeller
My gold is in the stories that I tell.
And I can tell by reading
That you have that same breeding
And you must be a storyteller as well!!
