If I am to Become A Story

"If I am to Become A Story"

“In the end we’ll all become stories.” - Margaret Atwood (Canadian Poet & Novelist)

… and I’d like mine to be told

With a bit of flair,

A bit of bold.

I want the dull days sung high

The bright days sung higher.

The frowns painted bright

The smiles painted brighter.

The sun should outshine

The dreary days spell

And how I danced!

Do tell, do tell!

Read aloud the poems

Of canaries, wings of gold,

Dragons and pixies

Fiery tongues, hearts stone cold

If I am to become a story

Let me be a legend.

Make me a beginning

Not “The End”
