Words
Small printed words
Flying like birds
Through the air
Swirling hair
Books
Glorious books
Hidden in nooks
Jumping out to surprise you
Covers red, green, blue
Quiet
So, so quiet
Sound on a diet
No one speaking
No floors creaking
Sanctuary
My favorite sanctuary
Disruptions momentary
Not interrupted
My reading uncorrupted
Read
How I love to read
Through the shelves I (silently) stampede
To get to my favorite corner
Like some foreign polar explorer
