Story

Sitting around while the cave light sang

old man gray in the beard

paints his pictures with a voice

practiced in the arts of creation.

"Once, far far away..."

The story; of filled lives

hope, glory, pain and despair

Rising above, held down

by evil and the darkness.

Triumph, revenge, 

forgiveness and yes, the crown jewel

of all....

Love.

The old man lowers his arms slowly

his audience enthralled

to tears, not at the emotions

he invoked,

but rather, that now it is ended;

sadness that the story is done.

A bittersweet telling of life and its inevitable aging, so much beauty and so much loss.
