Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today.
All of us have a natural inclination
To embellish facts, add some dollops of fiction
When ordinary incidents we narrate
Some truth we tell, some we fabricate
This is how stories we generate
By adding imagination we all can create
Stories unique to us, reflecting our perception
Modified in narration by others’ reception.
As we spin stories we develop comprehension
Of the world around us, we learn what to mention
And what to omit when we share our notions
We learn how to best portray our emotions.
When our paths cross, our stories united by chemistry
Get interwoven as threads in the human tapestry
Our worlds intersect, passions collide, stories merge
From these interactions, new stories emerge.
