So tell me a story that holds me
Captive in its brilliant imagery
A story that leaves me spellbound
Whose words drown every other sound
A story that tugs at the strings of my heart
A story of which I can be a part
Tell me a story, will you, my dear
To dispel the dark clouds of fear
**
I feel lost, I know I will find
Myself in a story that’s one of a kind
A story that instills hope and inspires
A story that rekindles lost desires
A story from which I can derive
Strength, and rejuvenate and revive
My passion for life in all its splendor
A story to whose wisdom I shall surrender
And I shall recount my story in return
Cleanse myself of past errors, from them learn..
