A Story to Tell

What is a story
When said without voice?
Whose words are not heard
Unless by choice
Stories are meant to
FLY
Meant to
SPREAD
But not meant as stuck
To paper and ink
Bound by words
Locked in writing
When a story is told, however
There’s no way of knowing
Who’s told it before
Because a story was spread
From people to people
To places and other, it has been
HEARD
Has been
REMEMBERED
Stories cannot do that on their own
Can they?
Unless a story tells itself
Which would be a true story to tell
A story of a story
Who tells itself
And someday
There will be a story
To tell
Of that.
