Weak Spots Vii

Waking up to a blazing idea
As it takes off on the page like magic,
And when doubt spreads its fire,
Their smile is there to extinguish it  

Falling into pages and pages 
Of breathtaking philosophies 
And haunting stories—flurried in fiction— With no one to call you to earth

Solitude in the vastness of time's motion,
The caress of the pages to the fingertips
The ancient scent of the old book wafting 
In every page flip

The leaves dancing in the movement
Of the world in glowing beams,
A breeze that reminds you that wind
Exists—just as love exists
