books, designed on the shelf
to be read, worshiped
and cherished
awestruck
I wonder at the marvel
how these gems are penned
by mortals who rise above the rest
their words resonating deep and wide
across timeless horizons, over pink clouds
I pray
and I wish
to imbibe these values
of greatness beyond boundaries
someday, perhaps a few words
from my dusty pages
would rain
and I shall sleep in peace
carrying a hope
and tales of bliss
