A blank piece of paper
Mundane and bare
Ready for a tale
You have to share
The magic of stories
Traps us in its cage
Its world is our home
From the very first page
With pencil at the ready
You compose your part
Weaving tales so special
They live in your heart
This blank piece of paper
Is blank no more
Filled with your wonders
Right to the core
