Give me a story


Stories, stirring stories of any tale you could weave I could find myself immersed in and never displeased Give me a story, any story with which I can muse Fantasy, adventure, or fiction; any one I could choose Leave me be alone with a story to waste away a day Set my mind free with the path of a single story, if I may Whether I have the time or I don’t, a story is in my head While walking down the street, sitting on a bus or asleep in bed Tell me a story and I will paint you it's life I will capture every detail, and draw it all right Let me be full of a story, in my head all the time Let me catch hold of a story and think it in rhyme So my own can come about, ideas being spawned Ideas from a story having come like the dawn Let a story take root, deep set in my mind I will write to the end of all logical time Let me hear the wind and bring home a wondrous tale Waiting to be told, to be drunk like fine ale A story is all I want, all I need Plant me a story from the tiniest seed A story in my head is all I need for inspiration One with which I hope to pass into admiration A story is what drives me-to write-to draw For me a story is like a sacred law One that I must obey, awake and dreaming at night See before my eyes like some heavenly light A story I want, a story I'll have A story I'll write, a story I'm glad Let me know a story, nothing else for me to wonder Let me write a story, and then let me read another.

<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;">Another charming piece :) Allow stories to enter the ear, yet remain in the heart, where all humanity is contained. Q.V.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
