Oh Story

Oh story, you have found me.

Found me wanting,

Found me desperate,

Found me unsure how to tell you.

So I will write and try,

And live and die,

To fashion words to fit the muse.

 

Oh story, you have caught me.

Caught me toiling,

Caught me guilty,

Caught me worried that I’ve wronged you.

For I wrote and wrought,

And bled and fought,

To tell the story true.

 

Oh story, you have left me.

Left me wondering,

Left me maddened,

Left me searching everywhere for you.

Did I force and fit,

And bridle and bit,

The wild from out of you?

 

Oh story, I have found you.

Found you waiting,

Found you hopeful,

Found you Finding me again,

As I fought to follow you.

He is a church planter, and has served as Lead Pastor and Worship Pastor in several churches throughout his career, having earned his degree from Palm Beach Atlantic University. He is co-owner and founder of Lost Poet Press, and he is also the on-screen narrator for all of the THRIVE cinematic films. He is the author of the Epic of Haven Trilogy, an allegory/fantasy saga that expresses his passion for grand stories and his rather epic view of the world.
