The Library

#ClassicReads
The following is included in my collection Observations available for Kindle or in paperback.
It is not classic, like Frost or Wordsworth, but if you're here, it likely makes sense to you. Enjoy it and please, leave me a comment on the poem, the blog, or life in general! Thank you!

Library

The library beckons

With promises of adventure,

Of faraway lands and fantastic creatures.

Fascinating people

And puzzles whose solution

Is always revealed in the end.

Take me away from today

Show me the past, the future,

A different present.

Teach me, entertain me

In whatever direction I choose.

I’ve gotten lost in the library

More often than I can recount.

Pleasantly lost, willfully lost

Mayhap I’ll get lost today!
