The stories I told
Unfolded before you
I became Scherazade.
telling these tales through
every means possible
I came to retell the story
your smile familiar
peculiar
as if a silent witness to
these stories
your spirit present
you are not you
this presence overwhelming
yet subtle and grounded
those watchful eyes
witnessing souls
witnessing me
evolve and unfold
a master is timeless
ageless
selfless
when you completed my words
and turned my pages
as though this telling
was only a retelling
you simply wanted to hear
what you already knew
sound healing
awakening.
narrator silenced
I became the listener
words no more
what to teach the ones
who know
What to tell the ones
who are
silence became the word
the word no more
