Breathing Time

Stepladder up to the ceilings

Held with high reasons and feelings

The bookcase


Volumes of joy and pure leisure

State their case as printed pleasure

A bookworm


Shape a life into linked chapters

Mind and soul as truth extractors

His bookmarks


Many things he can’t quite discern

Unfinished business much to learn

To bookends


Legends fiction subconscious streams

Myths fantasy and vivid dreams

Of booklore

Love the setting, world of books. Your compounds are familiar to the audience here - poets. Well-done, Kai Michael.

Yes we have much to learn. It seems we don’t spend enough time in the Stream of Consciousness.
