TELL IT ALL©
by rak
 
when you tell your story
tell it all,
tell it big
tell it small
tell it all
don’t tell it tall
 
tell of every bell that rang
how you answered every call
when you tell your story
be sure to tell it all
 
the flashing lights
have come and gone
all thru the night
then gone by dawn
the sky ablaze
a fiery maze
but they’ll be back
soon,
better days
 
the thundering
like pounding hooves
to show the way
the living proof
to follow without regret
to understand
what’s unknown yet
 
when you tell your story
tell the tale
of all who tried
of every fail
of being locked
in mindless jail
of kindness
of the strong and frail
 
when you find your way
back thru the dark
where truth is both
concealed and stark
and every vision
comes to light
a new way thru
the darkest night
 
tell the good
and tell the bad
of all you have
and all you had
tell of all the ways you lost
and tell of how
you paid the cost
 
tell of war
and tell of peace
of the beauty
and the beast
what matters most
what matters least
tell of clouds
that rise as yeast
 
tell of all the tears
you cried
of all who lived
and all who’ve died
as rivers run
as oceans dried
of every task
and each trick tried
 
tell it all
in chapter one
of all the plans
that came undone
 
and when you get
to chapter two
tell of all
you had to do
 
chapter three
and chapter four
of pride and prejudice
and much more
 
when you get
to chapter five
tell of being
buried alive
 
chapter six
and chapter seven
the devil’s hell
and angels’ heaven
 
chapter eight
of love and hate
chapter nine
what’s yours and mine
 
and when you get
to chapter ten
tell of when
to start again
