The Book

Unlike a thousand million stars Enclosed in the universe So are words Enclosed in a book Each page brings a new story But still some or the other Remains untraveled and unrevealed Thousands of lives are led By a single person alone As each book gives Some strength to weaker bones It is a home for the people Who are all alone And for dreamers It is a lighted dome Which brings new ideas And an example for the one Who really want to try And get their work done Changing perspective of the reader Changing the perspective of an artificial world Winnowing the dust From our mind and heart Keeps people connected Even when they are apart Words are the weapon Words are the cure But when they get a companion like a book They become truly pure A book is an inspiration For the people who are depressed And a good friend to share all plans They make us feel good As if we are in open Where no limits are there for imagination Regardless of wealth Regardless of past It will always be there When a person needs it No matter whether it is day or night For in day it is a shadow And at night A bright light…………. ~ by Aradhana
