Books Beyond

Books

are imagination

a clean slate that changes every time

its read.

Books

are soft

the velvet of comforting familiarity

and unfamiliarity.

Books

are travel guides

to the world beyond

your world.

Books

are a constant reminder

to who and what we are 

and can be.

Books 

are water and food 

to sustain our minds

and give life 

over death.
