In the library


In the library, the word-nest,

sentences transcend time

speaking in different accents

beyond their span.

The gold within

jewels the imagination:

black and white

colouring

the pages of life.


Strata of souls at attention,

on parade ground of their shelf,

guarding thought, guiding thought

provoking thought,

in the keeps of their bindings.


You do not fit these bookshelves,

there is no constraining genre

that prisons you within

or chains you with title.
