Double Oak Doors and Wide White Floors

Glance behind the heavy oak door

Smell the air, thick with dust

Quiet your voice, below a whisper

Creep silently up to the ceiling high shelves

Reach up on tiptoes, up above your head

Pull down a leather bound book,

Stroke the old binding

Leaf through the pages, inhaling the musty smell

Leave a mite bit happier, book in hand
