Put down your remote pick up your pen write me Make me timeless as I could only be written in this very moment Assign words to smells, sounds, tastes, sights that only you sense but make me universal Recall every poet but be yourself Recollect every writing rule so you will know when and how to break them Make me enigmatic enough that I can’t be comprehended on the first pass but intriguing enough to want to give it a second go Season me with swagger to inspire the timid Saturate me with hope to comfort the downhearted Imbue me with faith to inspire the seeking Permeate me with love to bless the lonely Don't sweat it if others do it better than you they don't know your heart Put down your laptop your briefcase your phone pick up your pen and write me I am your story Written 25 Dec 2019

The written word lives on for centuries, long after one has passed into the next realm. Shakespeare comes to mind. To ancestors of the poet, their words are more beloved than any other master poet. You have captured that innate desire within that drives a poet to write. “I am your story” is the perfect ending to this outstanding poem. Bravo my friend and belated congrats. Thank you for sending me this link John. I enjoyed this immensely. Blessings xxoo

If this write encourages even one poet to tell one story of their life, it will have been worth it. Thank you for leaving behind the aroma of your kindness, Sam.
