Poem
I traveled With my friend Deep into the Forest To seek out the story teller If you are brave enough He will tell your story Listen carefully It will come true Adventures and riches The realization of you Still there is a darker side Two must approach There will be a great loss The other must pay a cost Each story will be told You won't know who's future unfolds The message will be received The curse will follow The one who leaves So me and my friend We walk many days Through gnarled trees On the path we stay Following strange music It beckoned on the breeze In a clearing A tiny crooked house Door open We walk in "I was expecting you" We sit down together In front of the fire He lays out the rules "One will win One will lose You will not know Which the future will choose" With great detail he did describe We listened intently to his tale On the wings of adventure our minds did sail Story one A glorious tale Adventure and riches A hero who can't fail Crowned a king A castle home In fields of clover With his true love he roams Respect and wealth A family fine I hope and pray this future is mine The second tale is that of woe A land of darkness wherever he goes Who's future is this We do not know Within our hearts the doubt it grows We listen to each tale until the end Is this all real or just pretend How can I be happy if my friend is lost We both failed to consider the ultimate cost The story teller says "You are both very brave which of you chooses your friend to save?" Name the price I will pay He smiles his smile And then he says "You must give the good future away Instead it's here that you must stay" Come deep into the forest Bring with you a friend All I ask is that your ears you'll lend If you come together The stories won't be pretend If you have dreams you want to come true There has to be Two of you For I am The Story Teller The weaver of Dreams The answers you seek Are closer than they seem Written May 12th, 2013
