"wave upon wave"
words
that need to be told
to each generation,
a truth that never grows old
the message - so simple,
takes long to learn:
you, it says,
are the storyteller of your own story
"free to choose"
before you a table of plenty,
a sweeping rainbow of attitudes to choose
from the thousands of hues what will you pick?
will your tale be bitter, sweet, bittersweet . . . ?
what roles will you decide to play?
will you be jester, judge, living ghost . . . ?
ponder the power and privilege
of the storyteller
"the hue of gratitude"
black and white, rainbow hues, colorless
on the canvas of this life
i choose
gratitude
