Read

Teach them to read,

let them imagine,

let their stories, enchant the world.

Read

There you lay

amidst the crafted illusions

of your dreams

silent, on pages

no one, would ever read…

Ink-Stained Memories

I trace the pages,

of that old hand-me-down book,

marked with ink stains of the past,

drifting into the memories of a different time.

“Voyage through time”…

Tonight’s Quote:

“One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.”  ~ Carl Sagan
