It’s so amazing to read
to step into different worlds
and to breathe in an author’s words
and see as he perceives
and conceives
his own reality
written down beautifully
in between sheets
of cut down trees
It’s extraordinary to read
And feel the words as he speaks,
Not just the curvature of their intertwinements
but how the letters are so perfectly conjoined
with their brothers and sisters.
And by God,
the way they sound.
The DNA of music,
before it’s born,
before it even makes a noise,
before the sounds of non-contraceptive instruments are being played with
like toys.
Certain words can touch you
while you’re simultaneously feeling them,
without a sense of hearing them
sometimes only just by reading them,
how beautiful.

Great poem! Have to agree with your note also. Thank goodness for books! As my fave man Morrissey says, There's more to life than books you know, but not much more!
