A Librarian’s Wish

The shelves speak verses.

As hands and minds can’t comprehend,

“where to begin,”

A shutter of silence,

infinite inquiry into

an immense world of the unknown.

 

A play land for the mind,

a dream for the mind to dream

in its own composure.

 

Can my hands cramp,

in all it’s entirety?

where pens aren’t needed

and candle lit desktops

 

Where brief sighs and coughs

echo between isles

through one ear and out the other

a calm music

a relaxing tune

a slew of mishaps

to open imaginative

 

My mind flutters

from one title to the next

soak up and enjoy

to be sponged out later

where the inspiration and influence

will become my own work

 

Where my pen will outline my fingers

and touch my mind

to creative emotion

and sew the seams

of the seemingly impossible

to invoke connections

where thought couldn’t be

and to write from the heart

for everybody to see

 

“This is where I begin.”
