A Good Book

Nothing looks so innocent

And yet is so complicit

Nothing seems so ordinary

And yet is so extraordinary

Nothing appears so similar

And yet is so diverse

As a good book

 

Words cannot express

The power of a good book

The dizzy swirling galaxies

That can hide between two plain covers

The heart-twisting dramas

That can unwind along a trail of letters

The fizz-bubbling mirth

That can break ranks from the march of pages

 

Nothing is so publicly sold

And yet so privately consumed

Nothing seems so plentiful

And yet is so rare

Nothing appears so contained

And yet is so infinite

As a good book
