The Library

As she entered the building she uttered not a word Sounds from the outside could no longer be heard In this quaint structure were books of every shape and size Some held mysteries, while others held surprises The library was where she found her inner peace Each book to her was a masterpiece Where imagination and wonder never ceased And the fires of her curiosity increased With several books in hand, she took a seat And lost herself in pages that entreat The book on poetry was her favorite one It was both inspirational and fun She loved the metaphors and the rhymes whose meaning were woven into the sublime Upon her, these verses cast a spell In this place of books, where silence dwells.

My wife and I created a free, trust style library with 1000 books but most of the people who come in just want to brag about owning a Kindle. The beauty of a library is that you stumble across things you weren't looking for, there's the magic. Lovely write. Kind regards Ian
