A Book For the Morning
I wish to read something,
Anything which will allow my mind to wonder -
Exploring infinite cosmos of words that
Expand forevermore into an unknown darkness.
So I picked a book for the morning,
My imagination free to run wild
Like the mighty bulls roaring.
This trembling, terrible thrill-
The quiet whisper under my breath
Shaping and crossing the bounds -
A world free from the chains of my eyes,
And instead they break their rusty locks.
My fingers trace the words
Following its slender path until the overwhelming
Climax - I grasp the curved edges, a rush
So high everything around me dissolves.
Then I am back.
The darkness of reality chases me restlessly,
Turning those bright brilliant words into black.
I feel lost - but found.
The book is at its end, but my life continues.
And I - its author - with fresh muse.
