I am story

by tteerriitt (Terri Turner)

I am story,
I am story,
So long,
Wondering,
Yearning,
Starving to know,
Who I am?
Why I am?
Now I am,
Allowed to know,
I am story.

Hiding from life,
Like a naughty child,
Not wanting to be found,
In fear of being scolded,
Abandoned,
Rejected,
Expelled to the shadows,
Reflecting shards of light,
On edges of reality,
Stories mined.

Hidden behind,
Veils of illusion,
Idle fancy,
Vain imaginings,
Hopes and desires,
Story of truth,
Hidden in shadows,
Pointed at in dreams,
Etchings in minds.

Now clearly defined,
In the midday sun,
Beaming lighted truth back,
Why taken so long?
Why have I run?
Hiding from my identity?
Running scared,
Away from me,
And my own story?

No where left to hide,
Too hungry,
To pretend,
Ravenous and yearning,
Spirit and soul,
I am story,
Needing to be sung,
With no doors left,
Except deaths end.

Stumbling over,
Tripping up,
Only stretching,
Tested never beyond,
Muscles pushed,
Needing strengthening,
To finally reach,
Our destiny,
Stories mend.

Some stories are mighty trees,
Some shrub like,
Some are weeds,
To be told often,
Dieing down quickly,
Mulching underfoot,
Transforming,
Next level,
Larger stories,
Eventually growing,
Ascending,
Out of decay,
Sparkling,
In the sun,
Promised,
Day come.

Some stories ancient,
Some not spoke yet,
Each story has its own time,
As some story tellers have theirs,
Some stories are ours to keep,
Others are loaned,
Could be a short spell,
Others a life’s time.

All stories are sacred,
Some must be earned,
Shrouded in reverence,
Closer to Dawn.

Some stories are owned,
By entire nations,
Carried like cloaks of honour,
Handed on by generations,
Becoming misty veils,
No longer understood,
Others hiding in shadows,
Of secrets and shame,
Gnawing at out spirit,
Yearning release,
Exposure,
Fleeing us to heal,
Starving for change.

Stories can hunt us down,
Like ravenous wolves,
Left starving for acknowledgment,
Hungry for flight,
Numbing desperation,
Fear no longer,
Able to hold back,
Growing hidden potential,
Shoved inside,
Cracking apart,
Spiritual hemorrhaging.

Stories needing cooking,
Bringing to the boil,
Left simmering,
Tender and sweet,
Then eaten,
Slowly chewed,
Swallowed,
To nurture,
Embodying man,
Spirit, soul and mind,
Healing through acceptance,
Acknowledgment,
And kind.

Indigenous friends,
Carry their stories,
Like sacred jewels,
Awaiting the New days,
Bright Sun Light,
To shine on them,
Once again,
Awaiting,
Spiritual immaturity,
Of the young western child’s,
Demise if not long now,
In need of reaching,
Destinations,
And time lines,
In urgent need,
Stop,
See,
Stop,
Smell and hear the spirit,
Wisdom’s and truths,
So long now in the tooth.

Other stories,
Unable to share,
Worst prevented,
Until child nations grown,
Matured enough to grasp,
Truths worth and value,
Collective maturity,
Upon all,
Reaching out,
Stretching,
Towards,
New Stories horizon begun,
Releasing New Visions Sun
Directing humanity,
Heading towards one.

All partaking,
New Day begun,
Past, present,
Future now all one,
Not to be dressed,
In uniformity,
Sharing stories
Through,
Our differences,
United as one.

Acceptance and peace,
Releasing stories,
Like caged doves,
From hungry fetterings,
Ending needs,
Quenching ravenous fear,
Extinguish cruelty,
No more fueling wars,
Destruction or greed.

Lifting up the veils,
Tearing down your fears,
Hunt out your stories,
Knitting together,
Each shard and stone,
Grow them,
Protect them,
Sheltered within,
Spirit and soul,
Seek out the tree you are,
What fruit’s you will become.

Pay no attention,
Old decaying forms,
No need for attachments,
Disintegration,
Crumbling structures,
Hunt out,
Tracking Order,
Fueling New Forms,
Integrating.
Abounding,
Blossoming,
New stories sung.

All paths now converged,
Profound juncture in time,
Spiritual market place,
All crowed in on one,
Seeking out,
New stories,
Before heading out,
Back to the deserts,
Wilderness in time,
Building newer levels,
Construction in time,
Ever advancing civilisation,
Original promise,
From our Beloveds Hand.

We are story,
We are story,
Our trees are fruiting now,
Patience and effort,
Mirroring,
Pure light,
From higher Chalice comes,
Reflecting honour,
We must now become,
We are story,
Needing to strive,
Pushing on,
Forward attractions,
Sharing,
Lushest fruits,
All been entrusted with,
Making offerings,
Beloveds united family.
