STORIES WITHIN — CPC “Magic Monday/The Magic of Storytelling”
STORIES WITHIN
Big hopes and dreams
and walks in the park;
searching for rainbows,
afraid of the dark;
playing hide-and-seek
within the twists
and the turns of life;
hiding in the corners
and playing tag
with my heart.
Words holding me captive
and carrying me away,
my imagination
surrendered to
the light and the dark.
Tales that come knocking
on the door of my mind
and I peer through the windows
not quite knowing what I’ll find.
But as I open the door
a crack so I can see,
picking up the book
that’s on the desk
in front of me,
I find love’s sweet songs
caressing the strings
of broken hearts;
songs of the night
laced with somber melodies
and broken dreams.
I find tales of adventure
to places far and wide,
snapshots of lives lived
and played and loved.
And as I read stories
of years passing by –
stories of lives well lived,
the playful shrieks of children,
voices drifting out of range,
the tears and fears
playing out on each page,
I can hardly put it down.
But as I put it away,
this book that I’ve found,
I know I’ll be back later on
to read the pages again,
stories we have
within our hearts
to tell.
