I Hear The Call Of A Story © 2007
by The-Truth-Will-Strike-You-Down, AKA Bonnie
I hear the call of a story
And it’s drawing me away,
Away from home,
Away from life,
Away from “Things to do today”,
I hear the call of a story
People talking in my head,
As the characters develop,
My imagination’s fed,
I hear the call of a story
Plot is flowing through my mind,
And I must struggle hard to catch it!
Snatch it!
Before I get left behind,
I hear the call of a story
Anger happiness and pain,
Dialogue and action struggle
For attention in my brain,
I hear the call of a story
As I lie awake at night,
Unable, now, to sleep
As dragons fly and brave lords fight,
I hear the call of a story
Heros, armies, rogues and thieves,
The smallest words change meaning,
Emotions skittering like leaves,
I hear the call of a story
Notions grab me from behind,
As I stumble on ideas,
I still don’t know what I’ll find,
I hear the call of a story
Near the end I’m almost there,
‘And suddenly-’
“Bonnie, are you getting on?”
“Yes, Mum!”
‘…And suddenly she broke her neck,
when she fell upon the stair.’
