A Storyteller

It can often feel lonely being a writer, especially a Christian writer, but you are not alone.

Are you a storyteller? Can you think of anything But telling stories? Can you dream of anything But telling stories? Do you look at the world And see its beauty? Do you look at the world And see it’s endless stories? Do you feel that you are alone, That you are the only one? Is this what you think You are meant to do? Or do you know it? When you wake up to a new day Is telling stories The first thing you think of? And is it the last thing You think of before you go to bed? Do you see others in this world Who tell stories and ask yourself Are they anything like me? Odds are they aren’t, For a true Storyteller is rare. Can you look at something And turn it into something else? Something so different It is hard to recognize, Except by you? Do you wish That you can go into your stories. To live in them sometimes? To live alongside your characters, To experience your world With more than just your mind? Do you care for your stories As if they are your children To protect them To let nothing harm them To make sure no one takes them from you? So with what little was said, For there is much more Do you think that you are a Storyteller? If you are a Storyteller Find me, Find others like us For this is what we do We are Storytellers.
