When my time came
I told stories
As though they ran in my blood
Because each telling Revitalised
My life force
And each story
Reinforced
My racial reminiscence.
The Old Story-Teller
Book of Songs pg 240
I have lived my life believing
Story-telling was my proud legacy.
The ones I inherited
From my grandfather became
My primary treasure
And the ones I garnered
From other chroniclers
Added to the lore.
