The Scent of Reading

The scent of reading, 
It pervades our chambers,
The dew of knowledge,
It moisturises our being.

The scent of reading,
It diffuses into a hidden part,
Concealed in our subconscious mind,
Stealthily it comes to the fore when needed.

The scent of reading,
Like the aroma of flowers in spring, 
It envelopes us,
We glide in its richness.

The scent of reading,
The luxury of its fragrance,
It chauffeurs through the door of insight,
We're haloed by its light.

The scent of reading,
It gladdens the heart,
We take flight on the wings of knowledge,
We're embellished with stars.
