Centuries of words there resting Time, each bound tight page is testing Orphans now at home Shelves around with books abundant Each with words of they the pundit Eyes with vigor roam The light of day a trove divulging Browsing, much the time involving The reading urge is strong Enchanted and of era thinking Deeper into trance then sinking Time, more time I long Words they gather, lines then forming Words of wisdom, words so warming Lines of verse and rhyme Sentences, the stories telling Between the covers many dwelling Silently with time Giving joy and so much pleasure Giving those who seek their treasure A treasure all so grand Words that pierce the mind with wonder Some creating thoughts that ponder The old books proudly stand Enduring time and caring hand [This message has been edited by Rick (edited 07-07-2001).] |

Sorry for the spelling mistake of the title, it should be The old book store. |

So easy to lose yourself in an old bookstore. Or even a new bookstore, for me. Wherever there is a large amount of books, I am in heaven. Much enjoyed. Sandra |

Rick~ To rummage among the treasure in an old book store is 'almost' Heaven. Good write.  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
