The Book

Posted on January 21, 2011 | 15 Comments

The book opened up to me and therein lied
All the the wonders of the world and I sighed
We could go over there or maybe over here
From high atop on the mountains we could peer

The picture pages turned back and therein lied
Escape from the monotony and I cried
The rivers and the valleys seemed oh so dear
I could reach out and touch them they seemed so near

The book does appear now as if it does lie
Dashed hopes of a future my heart once spied
Sadly the visions were made perfectly clear
It was the book that survived; the earth was seared

and im glad you did FWF again! you write rhyme with what seems to be such ease. it flows soooooo perfectly. melodic. i envy that. i cannot for the life of me write rhyme without stammering around! 😦 but you do it very well!

  I’ve been on this darker side binge and hesitated from posting it until I got a happy bug bite. After I found that book and It’s picture it was such a perfect fit I had to upload it. Gratitude accepted and given.
