Storytellers Poem by Nicole GravellPellerino

We are all storytellers
based in oral tradition,
stories of
bravery, courage, love, and loss
engraved in fact and fiction
apart of every human culture,
the threads of each story
begin from nothingness
and can be traced back
to the earliest storytellers,
we make our own way
into the past, present, and future
and back again
as storytellers,
we tell our lives
with the magic and artistry of words
it is what we do and what we love
we tell stories
to drive our world
these stories are mineral deposits
in our bones
