I Love to Start Stories
A Poem
I love to start stories and never finish them.
I love how they wait for me, they wait to be told.
They wait for inspiration. They wait for love, heartbreak, epiphany, terror, bliss.
I love how patient my stories are.
I love how they grant me space, they grant me time.
They grant me catharsis. They grant me peace, expression, forgiveness, communication.
I love the duality of my stories.
I love how they cast a mirror before me, they cast new and changing shadows.
They cast spells of expansion. They cast filters, actors, mediums, fictions, clarity.
I love the virtues of my stories.
I love how they flow through me, they flow through my hands.
The flow through my heart. They flow through my mind, my laptop, our conversations, their words, this experience.
I love to start stories and never finish them.
I love to wait for them, wait for them to be had.
I wait for inspiration. I wait for love, heartbreak, epiphany, terror, bliss.
I love how patient I am for my stories.
