Ten foot ceilings
stacked high
billions of ideas
circulating upon pages
ghosts of the past
haunting the future,
the gift of recording
words to paper,
each shelve
sharing beautiful ideas
being read into
the mind
of interpretation
weight of each
book supported
in one's
own imagination,
the foundation
of inspiring creativity
supporting
one's own individually
achieving a space
of dedicated achievement
taking a space
on ten foot wall
for another mind
to find.
Words stacked
upon each other.

ahhh, nothing like an old bookstore to roust thoughts and feelings,,,,,,they have it all over a library for atmosphere,,mostly,,,due to the fact that in those cool stores,,,,are people waiting to share stories they've read,,,
