"Books" by Jake

A universe of wisdom barely contained inside a minute cover, waiting to be read.
I eagerly delve into your surface, hungrily searching your deep reservoirs of knowledge.
I love that papery smell you bring and your vividly realistic plot,
you are a portal to distant worlds.
Ungoverned by reality,
your perfectly written lettering brings a message to all.
You tell of past times, preserving them forever in your carefully crafted pages.
Unstoppable,
neither time nor distance hold any power over you.
You are an escape from life itself, a way to forget earth's troubles for a short time.
You help bring color to my life,
Books.

  1. What a tribute! Do you think if I read as much as you do I could write like you? What's the best book you've read recently?
