New poem: "The Storyteller"

 

The Storyteller

 “We need stories to understand

ourselves,” said the author of a novel

that shook the foundations of a world

religion, such was the awesome

power of his story’s meaning; and

a loving father in the armed forces

nourishing his son’s hunger to

understand life’s meaning through

his own stories, spurs the son’s desire

 to pursue a meaningful life healing

the sick and become a storyteller

like his mentoring father.
