Storytelling

The gentle watery flow smashing against the ragged rocks.
The snowcap mountains nestled against the bluest sky
wisps of a soft breeze whispering against the blushing cheek
unanticipatory verbiage impacting emotions

to thine own self be true
to rhyme without rhythm
to eat, to pray, to love

the best of times, the worst of times
the state of an era,
the unpredictable elipses

the improper but appropriate pause
inflection for reflection
brilliant salutations

morphemes
contractions
exclamatory fragments

Freedom within thought
freedom to express
Once upon a time ...
it was a dark and stormy night.
Of man's first disobedience ...
We hold these truths to be self-evident...

learned growth, 
long journeys into the lost world
satisfaction at the close of the book.

artful, impacting, storytelling.
