Karl Werner Ode

Ode to Books

My fingers have cuts from a lot of page turning
My mind is stuffed with countless tales
My heart is heavy with all of the learning
I've done every time a hero fails

A book can be used just like a door
Open it up and step right inside
A whole new world from where you were before
A place you can explore; a place where you can hide

I've had an infinity of laughter
And an ocean of tears
Some happily-ever afters
And some endings of sadness and fears

It's all part of the magic
That's all part of the trip
Whether happy or tragic
Read, read, and re-read till all the pages rip

  1. The imagery in this was awesome, if I could picture every line in my head. The ending was great.
