Catch and Release

I picked it. 
I read it.
I recommended it!
I released it…

I have fought the battle, 
and won the war.
I have achieved an “end”
and been sent home.

The book… 
is still traveling.
Small soldier
marching on.

Myth and legend
fact, and fiction.
Never ending…
Volumes turned to stone.
