A storyteller’s Bane

An empty page
Inflicts unsolicited pain
Every story begging to be told
Leaves me hungry to find the words
Understanding each nuance
Empathy centre stage
Language no longer the only form of expression
Love trapped in sweet sympathy

A full mind
Inflicts unwarranted worry
Every story that begs to be narrated
Leaves me anxious to find the voice
Scratching each idea
Objectivity centre stage
Reasoning no longer the only form of conversation
Reminiscences seldom negated to triviality
