you are the storyteller

hello storyteller, 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
it is the lifeblood of papers by ream

hello teller of tale, in the cloth a story
on walls in caves, in fields of glory
in dreams unbound, in spirit it flies
in writer of prose, in poetry’s disguise

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 a 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, so pleased are we that you are here
hello raconteur, you weaver of life so fine
hello teller of tales, in your cloth lies the story
for within you here, lies the life of the vine.

"There were times in my life
when I was going insane
tryin to walk through
the pain
when I lost my grip
and I hit the floor
yeah I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door" - Aerosmith "Amazing"

Kari, she wears the crown, she wears the crown. (That's was a song I think, but I might be wrong) But if I am, I'm not about this poem of yours, par excellance, brilliant and so well constructed. This is superb, wild applause, and bravos and lots lots more. Praise where and when it's due, and it is love, it really is. Love this one too.
Take care love

Marsha, you dear poet, I do not wear the crown, but perhaps someday I will share a jewel...for the crown you speak of is universal, so that all who aspire shall wear it...

thank you...
