Little Book Poem by Purity Chapel

Little Book

Rating: 5.0


Look at the lone book,
its delicate threads fading in haste.
It is like a newborn babe,
fragile to Life and her imminent waste.

Hungry Reader, do not delight in its chaste state.
Please, hold on to it with cautious Grace.
For one never knows the potential tale,
of the various adventures it will face.

Quickly now! Save it from drowning
in Dust, Time's destined typhoon.
The pages will be inflicted with endless wounds,
scattered over its body's impending doom.

It is like a newborn babe, fragile to Life and her imminent waste. most books have such a short life. many die unread in our shelves, dust laden, forgotten.
